Although Google remains in the current version of Chrome integrates Adobe Flash, but it has decided to abandon Flash.
"Heartless" Chrome yesterday, the official Google blog post said, starting from September this year, Chrome 53 will Flash in a Web page load behavior to block in the background , so that Web pages load smoother.

According to Google, 90% Flash Web page will automatically load in the background, it will slow down the loading speed of a Web page.
Last September, Google has Chrome blocked Flash autoplay on, result is obvious. User Web pages load faster, also has less electricity.

In addition, in December this year, Google Chrome browser's HTML5 as the default option. If this is the only site that supports Flash, users will be reminded during his visit to manually turn on Flash support options.
The explanation as to why choose HTML 5,Google is:
HTML5 is more light and quick. In order to make the page load faster, and less electricity, many Web developers have moved to this platform.
Jobs ' open letter
In fact, apart from Google, there are already multiple platforms are also migrating from Flash to HTML5. One of the earliest and most determined comes as Apple.

Powered by iOS iPhone and iPad refused to Flash from the outset, it is his decision. In the case of Flash was still widely used, this decision has brought many iOS users that inconvenience to use, but jobs still adhere to the self.

In April 2010, Steve Jobs made a rare published a letter titled "my views on Flash (Thoughts on Flash)" long open letter, letter clarifies some backward in Flash:
· Poor security, Symantec in 2009 as one of the worst safety records;
· Stability, leading Mac computer crash;
· Delay in launching mobile version, leading to cell phones and other mobile devices to access Flash video extra sites that consume a lot of power;
· Flash key operation are customized for the mouse, multi-touch mode of operation, a large number of Flash sites needs to be rewritten.
For these issues, jobs concluded:
Flash is a product of the PC era, prepared for the personal computer and the mouse. As for Adobe, Flash is a successful business, we understand why they want to extend it to other areas. But the mobile era is low power, touch interfaces and open Web standards of the times, no matter from which point of view, the Flash is flawed.
At the end of the letter, jobs also recommended the HTML5:
New mobile era, such as HTML5 and open standards, they will be on a mobile device (personal computer) win. Perhaps Adobe should focus more on the future of HTML5 tools development, and on the issue of Apple abandoning old ones less criticism.
The fact that HTML5 standard has not yet been formally established, but there are some imperfections, but jobs are aware of its enormous potential.

In later years, Apple's products are steadily reducing reliance on Flash. By June of this year, Apple announced the new Mac system's built-in Safari browser, blocks Flash plug-in by default run in order to run more HTML5 content.
This approach, with the official Google blog announced plans in the same.
Flash is dead
As jobs put it, Flash is a product of the PC age it does Web has made a great contribution for the PC era; but in the era of mobile Internet, Flash's shortcomings more obvious, and eventually had to be abandoned.
Meantime, the HTML5 future increasingly uncertain. End of October 2014, the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) announced HTML5 standards culminating in completed, HTML5 is finally settled.

This Flash is concerned, can be said to be a fatal blow. Especially coming in 2015, Flash is a "deserted" in various networking platforms go, gradually collapse.
In January 2015, YouTube announced that abandoned the original Adobe Flash video player, HTML5 video Chrome, IE, mainstream browsers such as Safari 8 default playback mode.
In February 2015, Google started its ads automatically transferred from the Flash version HTML version 5.
Starting from September 1, 2015, all advertising for companies including Amazon.com, Amazon will no longer use Flash.
On December 22, Facebook announced the site's default uses HTML5 technology to play all video, no longer using Flash technology.

HTML5 now certain cases, seems Adobe also realized Flash fade has been irreparable. In December, the Adobe company website article, announced its "Flash" changed its name to "Animate". It also calls for the developers to abandon Flash, to the HTML5 platform.
This amounts to a direct announced the death of Flash.

Of course, baizuzhichong, sierbujiang; even if sentenced to death, Flash is unlikely to disappear completely from the Internet immediately. It will complete their transition for some time in the future, but the future is HTML5.
Metabolism, always so.
乔布斯一语成谶：Flash即将告别历史舞台 - Flash,Chrome,
谷歌浏览器 - IT资讯
虽然Google依然在当前的Chrome版本中集成了Adobe Flash，但是它已经打算彻底放弃Flash了。
“无情”的Chrome昨天，Google在官方博客中发布文章称，从今年9月开始，Chrome 53将会对Flash在网页后台中的加载行为进行阻止，以便让网页加载更加顺畅。

按照Google的说法，目前90%的Flash网页都会在后台自动加载内容，这会拖慢网页的加载速度。
去年9月，Google已经在Chrome上对Flash的自动播放功能进行了封杀，收效非常明显。用户的网页加载速度更快，设备也更加省电了。

另外，到今年12月，Google将会把HTML5作为Chrome浏览器的默认选项。如果是仅支持Flash的网站，用户在访问时将会被提醒手动打开Flash支持选项。
至于为什么会选择HTML 5，Google的解释是：
HTML5更加轻便快捷。为了让网页加载更快，并且更加省电，许多网页开发者都转移到了这个平台。
乔布斯的公开信
实际上，除了Google，已经有多平台也都在进行从Flash到HTML5的迁移。其中最早的、也最决绝的，当属苹果。

搭载iOS的iPhone和iPad从一开始就拒绝了Flash，这是乔布斯的决定。在当时Flash还在被广泛使用的情况下，这个决定给许多iOS用户带来了使用上的不便，但乔布斯依然坚持自我。

2010年4月，乔布斯罕见地发表了一封名为“Flash之我见（Thoughts on Flash）”的长篇公开信，信中阐明了Flash的几点落后之处：
· 安全性差，被赛门铁克公司列为2009年最差安全记录之一；
· 稳定性不好，导致Mac电脑死机；
· 迟迟未推出移动版，导致手机等移动设备访问Flash视频网站时消耗了大量额外的电力；
· flash主要的操作习惯均为鼠标定制，在多点触摸操作方式中，大量Flash网站需要重写。
对于这些问题，乔布斯总结说：
Flash是个人计算机时代的产物，为个人计算机与鼠标准备。对于Adobe而言，Flash是一门成功的生意，我们理解为什么他们要将它推广到其他领域。但是移动时代是低功耗、触屏界面与开放网络标准的时代，不管从哪个角度看，Flash都有缺陷。
在公开信的结尾，乔布斯还推荐了HTML5：
移动时代创造了HTML5等的开放新标准，它们将在移动设备（还有个人计算机）上获胜。也许未来Adobe应该将焦点更多的放在HTML5工具的开发上，而在苹果放弃过时东西的问题上少加批评。
其实当时HTML5的标准还没有正式确立，而且自身也有一些不完善之处，但乔布斯已经意识到了它的巨大潜力。

在后来的几年中，苹果的各项产品都在逐步减少对Flash的依赖。到了今年6月，苹果宣布将在全新的Mac系统内置的Safari浏览器中，默认禁止Flash插件的运行，以便运行更多的HTML5内容。
这一做法，与Google在官方博客中宣布的计划如出一辙。
Flash已经死了
正如乔布斯所说的那样，Flash是PC时代的产物，它的确为PC时代的Web做出了很大贡献；但是到了移动互联网时代，Flash的缺点愈加明显，最终不得不遭到各方抛弃。
与此同时，HTML5的未来却越来越明朗。2014年10月底，W3C（万维网联盟）宣布HTML5标准规范最终制定完成，HTML5终于尘埃落定。

这对Flash而言，可以说是一个致命的打击。尤其是在接下来的 2015年，Flash可谓是“众叛亲离”，在各个网络平台的离去中，渐渐走向崩溃。
2015年1月，YouTube宣布废弃原有的Adobe Flash视频播放器，将HTML5视频作为Chrome、IE、Safari 8等主流浏览器的默认播放方式。
2015年2月，Google开始将旗下的广告自动由Flash版本转移到HTML 5版本。
从2015年9月1日开始，亚马逊公司旗下包括Amazon.com在内的所有广告将不再使用Flash。
12月22日，Facebook宣布自家网站的所有视频默认使用HTML5技术来播放，不再使用Flash技术。

在HTML5大局已定的情况下，似乎连Adobe自己也意识到Flash的凋谢已经无可挽回。12月，Adobe公司在官网发布文章，宣布将旗下的“Flash”更名为“Animate”。它还呼吁开发者放弃Flash，转移到HTML5平台上来。
这就等于直接宣告了Flash的死刑。

当然，百足之虫，死而不僵；即使是被判了死刑，Flash也不可能立刻从互联网中完全消失。它将会在未来的一段时间里完成自己的过渡使命，但未来是属于HTML5的。
新陈代谢，亘古如斯。
