Yes, Google Chrome Is Dumping Adobe Flash This Year

#Google GOOG 0.02% #Chrome plans to kick the software, known for its bugginess and perennial security flaws, to the curb this year. The team behind the popular web browser reiterated its commitment to ditching #Adobe ’s ADBE 1.04% multimedia-friendly tool by 2017 in a blog post on Tuesday. The Chrome browser will begin blocking the majority of the web’s Flash—more than 90%—next month, the company said. By December, the browser will make Flash’s replacement, HTML5, a markup language for displaying media on web pages, its default. (Sites that support only Flash will require a person’s permission to run.)
