Google wants to strangle Flash – again – New Technology

Websites that use Adobe Flash to display video material gets fewer and fewer friends.

Before the year is out, Google plans to default to block all but the top ten most popular sites Flash in its browser Chrome. It writes The Verge.

Flash has in recent years been increasingly criticized both for taking too much of your computer’s resources and to have a lot of security problems. Not even Adobe themselves think it is a good idea to invest in Flash, but recommends instead developers to use HTML5 to bring video material on their websites.

Google blocks already previously paused specific Flash content on sites to conserve your computer’s battery. The new block now planned is much more extensive, but the user will have the ability to turn on Flash for single sites. According to The Verge is the blockage foreseen in Chrome clever in the way that the browser to pretend that it does not have access to Flash and allows the HTML5 instead of the developer chosen to have that option.

Google passes the ten biggest sites, including its own Youtube, is not to create too much irritation among users. But smitvägen for large limited to a year.
