However, it certainly doesn't come as a surprise since the end of Adobe's Flash Player has been coming for not a year, but past many years. The decision confuses many because instead of simply killing it (like many beseeched Google), the company has decided to let it stay dormant for a while. And what I would really appreciate is if our own descrete internal decisions would not be forced by Google or other companies that think they know best for everyone. Our codebase is huge, so moving to another technology would impact us (and other Flash based game companies alike) heavily. On the proposal posted by Anthony Laforge, technical program manager at Google (Chrome), many have shared their concerns about the future of the gaming industry. Looking at the number of active exploits that are served using Flash Player, users and security advocates will appreciate the latest decision. The top 10 domains that currently - and unfortunately - still use Flash Player include: We will continue to ship Flash Player with Chrome, and if a site truly requires Flash, a prompt will appear at the top of the page when the user first visits that site, giving them the option of allowing it to run for that site.įor those wondering, Google plans to expire this whitelist after one year, during which time this list will be revisited "to remove sites whose usage no longer warrants an exception." Google will also offer policy controls to enterprises to enable them to completely disable the feature, if they choose to do so.
If a site offers an HTML5 experience, this change will make that the primary experience. Later this year we plan to change how Chromium hints to websites about the presence of Flash Player, by changing the default response of ugins and Navigator.mimeTypes. This exemption will also expire in the next one year. Worry not as Google plans to build a whitelist for the top few domains still using flash. The code base will remain a part of the browser, but it would be disabled by default. However, that doesn’t mean that the Flash Player will stop existing on Google Chrome. Google has now revealed plans for its Chrome web browser to phase out support for Flash Player by the end of 2016. It has been long expected and finally the end seems near. Chrome to block Adobe Flash Player by the end of 2016 This policy will force users to only use Flash where there is no other choice. Following hundreds of critical security flaws that are reported in Adobe Flash Player every year, Chrome has now decided to block the bug-magnet and introduce "HTML5 by Default" policy by the end of this year.
