Tell the vendor.

I wanted to shop at a web site (wickers.com), but it was useless
without Flash.  I sent an email saying I wanted to place an order,
but I could not view their site.  It was fixed enough to be functional
the next day, and I placed an order.  They "re-launched" the site several
weeks later.  It still recommends, but does not demand, Flash.

I do not know if the changes were a response to complaints, but I think
complaining was worthwhile.

Cheers,
