Not true!

It requires an Internet connection to load the page. Maybe it can be
copied to be used offline? I haven't looked.

It requires Adobe Flash to operate. That means it won't work on many
computers and devices. Considering that Adobe are discontinuing
support for mobile Flash, the number of compatible devices will only
shrink. I haven't checked whether it works in Gnash.
