Death Knell For Adobe Flash As Google's Chrome Withdraws Support, Though The Impact Will Be Minor

Google recently withdrew support for Flash based content that includes online ads. Ads using Flash will now only open once the viewer clicks on the ad to activate it. Support for Flash has waned with the emergence of HTML5, due to the former's high latency and power consumption. It frequently crashes as well. Apple dropped support some years ago, as has Mozilla with its Firefox. Morevoer, Adobe has been slow to address these and other flaws, including some of the critical security issues.
