Google Now Automatically Converts Flash Ads To HTML5

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday February 25, 2015 @07:33AM from the have-some-ads dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Google today began automatically converting Adobe Flash ads to HTML5. As a result, it's now even easier for advertisers to target users on the Google Display Network without a device or browser that supports Flash. Back in September, Google began offering interactive HTML5 backups when Flash wasn't supported. The Flash-to-HTML5 conversion tools for the Google Display Network and DoubleClick Campaign Manager created an HTML5 version of Flash ads, showing an actual ad rather than a static image backup. Now, Google will automatically convert eligible Flash campaigns, both existing and new, to HTML5."

I'd rather go back to having unpersonalized penis enhancement ads. They made me much more comfortable than the customized penis enlargement ads I get now. :(

Maybe Intel can make a special core dedicated for ads ?
