Google Chrome definitively abandons the use of flash

Google Chrome

For quite some time, those responsible for the development of Google Chrome have been warning all users that in a short time they were going to abandon the outdated Flash format to focus solely on supporting HTML5. This warning has finally come true and in the latest update released, pages in Flash format are no longer displayed by default.

Normally, this option is activated by default, at this point you probably already have the new version of Chrome installed, so you may have noticed that some pages have stopped working or show a warning that you must install Flash Player on your computer. If you don't have this option enabled, tell you what the version is Chrome 55 which no longer supports this type of format.

Chrome signs Flash Player's death warrant.

Why are you betting on HTML5 instead of Flash? As it appears in many places, it is committed to HTML5 instead of Flash because this new one offers a much more fluid, better optimized and above all much more secure experience. When you enter a web page that uses Flash, as long as the HTML5 format is enabled, something that does not happen in all web pages, it will ask you to activate it.

With this update in Google they finally want all developers to move to HTML5 as soon as possible since, despite the huge number of notices and 'threats'There are still many who have not taken the step. If you want manually update your browser To install version 55 of Chrome, you only have to access the icon with the three dots located in the upper right part of the browser, display the menu 'Help'and finally click on'Google Chrome information'
