Google releases Chrome update without the support for Adobe Flash
Google has released Chrome 88 as the latest stable
version of their cross-platform web browser without any support for Adobe Flash Player.
Flash reached its official end of life on December 31, when Adobe officially
stopped supporting the software. On January 12, Adobe also began
blocking content from playing inside Flash.
Apple and Mozilla have also stopped supporting Flash, and
Microsoft is scheduled to end support later this month, reports ZDNet.
According to web technology survey site W3Techs, only 2.2 per cent
of today's websites use Flash code, a number that has plummeted from a 28.5 per
cent figure recorded at the start of 2011.
First announced in July 2017, Adobe had said to stop updating and
distributing Flash Player after December 31, 2020 due to the diminished usage
of the technology and the availability of better, more secure options such as
HTML5, WebGL and WebAssembly.
Microsoft has announced to end support for Adobe Flash Player on
Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11 at the end of the year.
