Work has already begun on bringing this info bar to life, thanks to a new commit posted to the Chromium Gerrit source code management. The screenshot above is a mock-up of the planned warning, from Chromium developer discussion on the associated bug. Additionally, a new warning bar will be shown, reminding that Flash will be removed from Chrome altogether in 2020. For users who do re-enable Flash Player, you’ll still need to give sites explicit permission in Chrome to run their Flash content, as before. To continue viewing Flash content, you’ll need to re-enable it in Chrome’s Settings menu. Starting with Chrome 76, currently expected to reach stable sometime in July, Flash Player will be completely disabled.
This permission needs to be given again every time you re-open Chrome.
The overall goal was to slowly make it more difficult for users to choose to use Flash Player instead of other (usually safer) technologies like HTML5.Īs of today, Chrome already chooses not to run Flash content on the web by default, but allows users to manually give an individual site the permission to run Flash Player.
The next step of the deprecation process is approaching in July, as Chrome will fully disable Flash for all sites and warn users of Flash Player’s impending demise in a “loud” way.Ĭhrome’s specific plans for the winding down of Flash Player have been public knowledge since the day Adobe gave Flash its 2020 expiration date.
Google immediately followed suit announcing that Flash would slowly be phased out of Chrome as 2020 approached. Almost two years ago, Adobe formally announced that Flash Player would cease to be developed and supported by the end 2020.
