Adobe Flash Now Officially a Part of Google Chrome

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the flash-in-the-pan dept.

MacGene noted that Google has announced plans to include Flash with Chrome. This step will make Chrome easier for Mom & Pop to use, but comes with a host of issues that have been discussed here before. I expect them to announce Silverlight Thursday.

  1. WTF Google? Think of the little guy. by WiiVault · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Don't get me wrong, Google has done a lot to push good open web standards, but this decision is one to cater to the masses instead of leading them. Flash needs to die. I love the web, but I also love obscure BeOS based OSS operating systems- which while Chrome doesn't support, its marketshare certainly influences the web sites we ALL visit. If Google starts bundling Flash, then it becomes even more "required" than it already is. I know I'm not alone here especially with the influx of new mobiles and mobile OS's that struggle with the same problems us alternative OS people do.
