Google to block Flash on Chrome, only 10 websites exempt

The inexorable slide into a world without Flash continues, with Google revealing plans to phase out support for Adobe's Flash Player in its Chrome browser for all but a handful of websites. And the company expects the changes to roll out by the fourth quarter of 2016.

As a result, Flash will still come bundled with Chrome, but "its presence will not be advertised by default." Where the Flash Player is the only option for viewing content on a site, users will need to actively switch it on for individual sites. Enterprise Chrome users will also have the option of switching Flash off altogether.

Doesn't The BBC still use Flash?

I'm not sure, it's an archaic resource hungry medium (flash too  ) HTML5 is the way forward.

I have flash disabled in FF by default, just enable it on specific sites when I need it.
