Google Chrome has decided to stop supporting Adobe Flash. Although we have heard it many times without seeing it happen, this time the browser will stop Flash and will use only HTML5.
The gradual phase-out of Flash begins this September, with the upcoming Chrome 53. 
The company states:
Today, more than 90% of Flash on the web runs in the background and supports services like Analytics. This kind of Flash slows you down, and starting next September, Chrome 53 will start blocking it. HTML5 is much lighter and faster. Publishers moving to it will speed up page loading and save you more battery life. You’ll see an improvement in responsiveness and efficiency on many websites.
The slow “assassination” of Flash won't take long. Until the release of Chrome in version 55 which will be released in December, Google plans to allow HTML5 as the only option for Chrome users, unless a site supports only Flash.
If you visit a website with Flash, Google will ask you to enable it for that specific page. However, HTML5 will always function as the default.
Flash was good for its time, but we are in 2016…
