Google chrome prepares for divorce with flash

Flash is slowly becoming a thing of the past and it is not for less if we consider that we have been talking about software riddled with security holes for a long time. The next to take a step to the detriment of Flash will be Google Chrome, which will begin blocking its content from next month.

Chrome 53 will bet on HTML5 to replace Flash

Gone is the time when Flash was a must on our computers, little by little other options have appeared, such as HTML5, which provide the same performance if not better and free us from the major security problems that have always plagued Flash.

Google has announced that Chrome 53, the next version of its browser, will start blocking Flash content and that HTML5 will be the default option, ushering in a new era. This movement will translate into a better speed when loading web pages and a lower battery consumption in portable computers due to the use of less resources for the same task. Chome 55 will arrive in December and will take a new step in the adoption of HTML5 to the detriment of Flash.
