Edge and Internet Explorer: goodbye to the Flash Player

Another step in the long process of decommissioning Flash technology is set for the end of this year, as announced in 2017 by Adobe. And Microsoft will adapt accordingly, definitively discontinuing Player support offered today by its browsers.

Stop Flash Player in Microsoft browsers

A change that will affect Edge (the new edition based on Chromium and the previous one), but also Internet Explorer 11 and the Windows 10 operating system. Thus, an era is about to close that for better or for worse has marked the evolution of the online world, the distribution and use of content before compliance with standards, accessibility criteria and fluid layouts became the daily bread of insiders. .

Microsoft's almost obligatory choice, considering that Google has long ago announced its intention to remove Flash support in Chromium at the same timeframe, starting next January.

Business users who for various reasons need to continue leveraging Flash will be able to do so through a plugin included in the Internet Explorer mode of the new browser. So this is the roadmap set by the Redmond group for the definitive farewell to technology
