It ca n’t be too long now until Flash finally dies . Google has proposed a new “ HTML5 by nonremittal ” schema that would mean that Flash is only used as a last resort by the web web browser .
Venture Beat reportsthat Google contrive to switch to a new system of rules for using Flash in Chrome as too soon as this capitulation . Instead of but allowing it , the web web browser will preferentially endeavor to use HTML5 if it can . If that does n’t work , you ’ll be asked if you ’d care to use Flash or not — if you say yes , the browser app will make it so and practice Flash again for the site in the hereafter .
Google project to try and ease some of the prompt overload by shipping a white list of big - name sites — like , uh , Facebook and YouTube — that continue to use Flash , which wo n’t generate the command prompt . But that whitelist will only last for a yr .
It ’s sound news . Flash is awful : Insecure , irrelevant , a reminder of a bygone internet eld . It ’s sentence tostamp it out for good .
