Google sounds the death knell for Adobe Flash — from businessinsider.com.au by Matt Weinberger
Excerpt:
Starting in September, the Google Chrome web browser will no longer automatically show Adobe Flash advertisements, the search giant announced [on 8/27/15].
Chrome is the second most popular browser for desktop and laptop computers, with about 28% market share, behind only Microsoft Internet Explorer, according to NetMarketshare.
The change, first announced in June, is just Google’s latest attack against Adobe Flash.
Flash had been the standard for interactive web content since it was introduced in the early 2000s. But there’s been a huge industry pushback in the last few years, mainly from Apple — which never supported Flash on the iPhone or iPad — and more recently Google.
