Flash is dead, Adobe recommends embracing HTML5.

In fact, Flash itself also supports mobile.

Flash is dead

Adobe announced on its website that support for Flash will be discontinued on December 30, 2020. Currently, Chrome, Edge and other browsers have reminders. Flash is disabled by default. If the video is played in Flash, you will receive the following message:

== Blocked by default ==

== blocks Flash==

== You need to manually enable Flash==

Ii. Cause of Death of Flash

  1. The maturity of new technologies such as HTML5.

In recent years, open standards such as HTML5, WebGL, and WebAssembly have matured to include functionality that was once only available in plug-ins, and now most major browser makers are incorporating plug-ins instead of plugins. In response, Adobe, with partners including Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla, plans to retire Flash by the end of 2020 and encourage content producers to move their Flash content to the new open format.

  1. Flash has too many bugs and security issues. Frequent 0day attacks
  2. Frequent ads and rogue software pop-ups

Flash official download site is heavy Orange Company ==

Pop a window every now and then

Everyone should not install Flash Player by default. If the site must support Flash, the technical adjustment will not be completed by December 31st and the browser will not support it.

Third, the current situation of Internet Explorer

When it comes to Internet Explorer, most people remember IE6. In fact, the share of IE6 is very small now, but the SHARE of IE series browser is still very much.

== Classic browser IE6 on Windows XP ==

Internet Explorer is still required for many government websites and enterprise internal systems, as well as some hospital systems. There are many compatibility problems, difficult debugging, and no support for mobile phones.

The awakening of Microsoft

To address these issues, Microsoft released an early version of Microsoft Edge.

The early Edge versions were a modified version of Internet Explorer 11 with an older core. While Windows10 is getting more installed, the share of browsers is still mostly Chrome and Firefox. Microsoft realized this wasn’t going to work, so they built a new version of Edge based on the Chromium kernel. The official announcement is as follows:

All that is missing is Support for Linux, but that is also planned. There is a surprise that Android download can only go to Google Play, considering the huge number of Internet users in China? Can’t you make a link that can be accessed domestically?

I currently use the Beta version of Edge for both development and daily applications. In the future, Microsoft will change the old version of Edge to the new version of Edge in the push plan. If you now manually download the new version of Edge and install it, the old version of Edge on Windows10 will be overwritten.

Web application vendors

The next three major browsers: Chrome, Edge and Firefox. It supports Windows, macOS, iOS and Android operating systems. Maybe a Linux version. By the time Microsoft gets the new version of Edge out to users. Will the major Web application vendors evaluate and support the original IE10 or IE11? It’s time to embrace the latest browsers.

It is a good news for developers and Internet users. This process requires Microsoft and the majority of Web application vendors have been working hard and pushing forward.

Six, afterword.

When you visit a Google page using the Edge browser, you’re prompted to download Chrome. Previously, it was just for Internet Explorer.
