Chrome To Freeze Flash Ads On Sight From September 1
An anonymous reader writes: Shaun Nichols from the Register reports that unimportant Flash content will be click-to-play by default in Google Chrome from September 1. He writes, "Google is making good on its promise to strangle Adobe Flash's ability to auto-play in Chrome. The web giant has set September 1, 2015 as the date from which non-important Flash files will be click-to-play in the browser by default – effectively freezing out 'many' Flash ads in the process. Netizens can right-click over the security-challenged plugin and select 'Run this' if they want to unfreeze an ad. Otherwise, the Flash files will remain suspended in a grey box, unable to cause any harm nor any annoyance."
Hmm, I've had this as a plug-in for a while now (FF though). It interfered a bit with some sites, but it was the fault of those sites anyway, so I guess it is a good idea to have it built-in in the browser (it can work even better than a plugin)

...but nice to see it turning on by default.
Am I right.
After all, there's nothing really fucking annoying that can be done with HTML5 ads, and it's not as if the whole ad industry is a crock of malware-infested, distracting, lowest-common-denominator-producing shit anyway.
Seriously, if I could post the grumpy cat photo as a full blown image I would. No matter how savvy tech becomes the average user doesn't install extensions unless someone mentions it. I would love to see the ratio of systems WITH vs. WITHOUT any extensions

That's silly. It's click to play, not a total block.
Basically, "essential" Flash content (such as embedded video players) are allowed to automatically run, while non-essential Flash content, much of that being advertisements, will be automatically paused.
So.... queue adverts posing as video players in 3. ... 2...... 1......
Why can't they stop the autoplay of ALL content.
Sadly, the war is being fought on my computer.
No telling what will become a casualty next.
It is always a good time for a backup. but today seems particularly good.
Sigh.
Like it or not, all the major browsers are phasing out plugin support. Microsoft and Chrome has already dropped support for plugins other than Flash, and Mozilla is about to do the same. Flash gets special treatment due to its market share, but make no mistake, the browser manufacturers are looking to kill it as soon as reasonably possible, too.
to hide ads originating from Google?
ISP blocking and browser "blocking" are fundementally not equivalent. If my browser "blocks" a flash ad and I want to see it I click it and it plays. If my ISP blocks some content I never see it to begin with. The core difference here is that when the browser is doing it the way Chrome does it it's not blocking it per se; it's simply making it so it doesn't play by default (which, by the way, isn't blocking). When my ISP does it the content literally doesn't get delivered. That's blocking.
THANK YOU Chrome! for being a leader in good practices once again.
Do we really want Google or Mozilla, or any other browser determining what content we can see or not see in a browser?
When it is a known security problem then I have no problem with it. As long as I have the ability to override the decision I don't really see it as an issue. Flash needs to die a hot painful death and this is probably the fastest way to make that happen.
What next, will they block? This seems like an awfully big slippery slope and people are just accepting it.
Not worried about it. If browsers start getting too exuberant with the blocking then market forces are almost certain to correct the problem.
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill Flash.
I'd like to see in Firefox by default...
Version 12 had that on by default. Loved it, it sounds like Chrome has it but it requires enabling. On Opera, it was one less thing to change after a fresh install. Somehow that browser came out of the box just the way I liked it.
Unlike most people, I really don't mind ads. It's how companies pay for free services. What I've had issue with for years is the loudness factor of these ads. Some of these ads are at max volume. When factored in that they were auto-play, simply visiting a website would be annoying and potentially hearing damaging.
Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
this is nice, but it would be nicer to hobble pop-over adverts that seemingly have to vandalize every website these days. I can't even get to the flash monstrosity before the site locks up and I have to close the appeal from social networks.
This should not be an issue of seeing content, it should only be an issue of requesting content. Autoplay on anything, be it GIFs or silverlight is not only an annoyance issue, but a accessibility issue. In any case, remember that Google is largely responsible for autoplay flash. As the largest ad network, the lack of control by the user grew it's ad revenue. Now that HTML 5 has removes even minimal control from the end user, flash is depreciated. This really only has to do with Googles ability to make money through ads.

I rather them stay flash because I don't have flash installed and won't see them. They will just be replaced with HTML5 ads that are equally annoying.
Unlike most people, I really don't mind ads.
You may have missed the recent story about malvertising.
Do we really want Google or Mozilla, or any other browser determining what content we can see or not see in a browser? I understand the security problems with Flash and I am not a fan of Flash, but everybody gets upset if an ISP blocks content, so why is it okay for a browser to do so? What next, will they block? This seems like an awfully big slippery slope and people are just accepting it.
Not really the same situation, I think a browser is perfectly entitled to say what third party plug-in/add-on/extension APIs it will allow, how they'll run and so on. Just like Firefox just decided to change their extension API, now whether it's a good idea is a different story but they're certainly entitled to do so. Would you be opposed to IE dropping support for ActiveX plug-ins too? I'm here assuming that there's some technical difference in flash between ads and video players, not that Google is actually sitting there saying that's an ad and that is not.

This kills the Flash
Mozilla are phasing out plugin support, and introducing the new drm layer, which is exactly not a plugin because [insert text here].
I'd like to see in Firefox by default...
Since Firefox apes a lot of what Chrome does it shouldn't be long...
Is there anybody here that doesn't use at least ONE ad blocker?

But you're saying that because you don't like Flash or Ads. Also, there is a difference in dropping or retiring something, like Active-X, and modifying the functionality of a plug-in that is used to display content created by a third party application. For example, most people would be upset if Google decided to display all JPGs (i.e. the photo of your dog) with the google logo on top of them. This isn't that much different.
That being said, as long as Adobe can offer a plugin with full functionality and it can be added to Chrome then I'm okay with this. As far as I know, the default flash plugin for Google is called Pepper and is probably written and supported by Google, which is why they can do this. According to the site below, you can enable the Adobe plugin which would presumably bypass any default flash behavior changes that Google makes to Chrome.
https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-...
Also, there are other browsers that people can use...
The difference is trivial. You've replaced something with a grey box. It's gone. You can't see it to get a clue if it's worth playing.
An ad company blocking ads from other companies.
Just a matter of time before they simply replace the "non-important" ad with an "important" one...
This issue is a bit more complicated than you think.
We are making progress, I uninstalled flash on my home machine a couple months ago and the only content (Only wanted content.) I have had trouble with is the "MIT Technology review" otherwise
Flash is dead to me now.
> You've replaced something with a grey box. It's gone.
That's not what Chrome beta is doing. Turning off autoplay/autoexecute for 300x250 and smaller swfs is not the same as removing flash support.
Often wrong but never in doubt.

Yes, and why has Mozilla decided to give up on extensions? Will I be able to block ads and scripts from then on?
Where's the conspiracy theory for that?

Autoplay is one "feature" I've never understood. Why can't the default be a still image from the video, either taken automatically, the way desktop file managers from Windows to OSX to Gnome and KDE create thumbnails, or uploaded separately by the content creator? Even a pop-up asking you to click to play is better than an autoplay explosion.
Do ever wonder what Noam Chomsky thinks of MIT's use of Flash? After all, it's built to facilitate propaganda and used to spread malware.
Good-bye Flash! So long Adobe!
They are doing it just to move users to html5 video which are not that easily blocked and has higher viewer raters (think more ads).
I know and use plugins to do that but chrome denying the issue on html5 is just a game.
It's the REAL why of WHY I wrote up my program (especially the bolded portions in accompaniment with a GREAT man of long ago saying it for me FAR BETTER than I ever could):
I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white.
We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness - not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another.
In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness.
Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost...
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all.
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.
To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people.
And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
Soldiers: Don't give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts!
You don't hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery - Fight for liberty!
In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: "the Kingdom of God is within man" - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you!
You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security.
By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfill that promise. They never will!
Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people!
Now let us fight to fulfill that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance.
Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.
Soldiers: in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

They haven't given up on extensions. On the contrary, they're giving their API a much-needed overhaul. Yes, you'll still be able to block ads and scripts.
Required reading for internet skeptics
Look, if I don't want to see ads then it's also true that I don't want to see this constant spam in the comments. Stop posting it.
I've turned my Firefox flash plugin to "Ask to Activate". This way I can choose what is "important" and "not important", not the almighty God^Hogle. This doesn't do anything for fine-grained selection of flash objects on a domain, but you can also use the Flashblock add-on for that.

"Flash gets special treatment due to its market share, but make no mistake, the browser manufacturers are looking to kill it as soon as reasonably possible, too."
If this is true, it's only because they've found more obtrusive and abusive ways to advertise to us that are more difficult to block.
Hasn't good come of your obsessions? Tesla: "At 1st, but I followed them too long: I am their slave - & one day? They will choose to DESTROY me..."
* Only problem with that, is that YOU admen & 'souled-out' bribed inferior competitors of mine are DESTROYING YOURSELVES, more than I ever could...
Why? Easy: You're not giving folks what they want & that's where YOU are going wrong...
(...& for a pack of salesmen/marketers, I'd have @ least thought YOU of all groups of people, would understand that - apparently, you don't & have lost sight of that fundamental + the nature of your customer base...)
Ever wonder WHY television like HBO was SO wildly successful? No ads...
That's EXACTLY what I give folks, no ads (as well as more speed, security vs. infestation by malware, reliability, & even added anonymity).
It's why I'm winning & worldwide adblocking is skyrocketing - it's just giving people what they want, for free! ...& it's worth it to me, & yes, per that same film, I've "considered the cost of such a machine" as I've created...
(As far as I'm concerned, the internet's the 8th wonder of the world as far as I am concerned, so it's worth doing right by it... & that's what my program's about as it does the job on SO MANY FRONTS & does fare more than slower inferior in abilities + resource use browser addons more efficiently AND it does far more with FAR less... beat that with a stick!)
APK
P.S.=> As far as 'you & yours', "destroying me"? You just plain can't... & you KNOW it. All you usually do is downmod my posts to try "hide them", but most here see them anyhow, browsing well below the +1 default view (where the best posts are)...
THAT, & as you're doing now, in calling my honest posts 'spam' etc.
Face facts:
Neither can do it & you're inability to prove my points in those posts validly + technically incorrect are only further destroying you - I let YOU do THAT, to yourselves!
Seriously - hell, you marketers are the BIGGEST spammers of all even BRIBING adblock/adblock+ & buying up Ghostery since you perceived them as threats obviously, crippling the 1st two by default...
(... yet you stoop to hypocritcal "pot calling a kettle black" b.s. LOWS like you just posted?? Please... lol!)
You must really TRULY think people are stupid, don't you, & won't see thru your petty greed motivated motives + modus operandi - guess again... apk
...and he/she/it has shown mercy on us by allowing the destruction of the bandwidth sucking, virus vector, POS that is flash.
Please do not read this sig. Thank you.
Thus I haven't viewed any flash advertisement or content in quite a while ;-)
Extensions are not plugins.
Plugins are native executables and work at the OS level. Extensions work at the browser level and are easier to contain.
All well known ad blockers are extensions rather than plugins.
For over 2 years with a plugin.
It's "Right-click", select "Run this plugin", and "Left-click"... very annoying on a touchpad.
While I do believe that Flash is horrible and destructive to the internet as a whole, I see this exactly for what this is: Google is closing the internet. They are closing it much like Microsoft did for many years. They marketed and waited until their browser was too much usage to ignore, and now use it to drive the direction of the web to their interest.
What happened to an open web? If people want to use technology x, they should be able to! Why does Google get to pick? What if google tomorrow decided that "Well, we found issues with other ad services, so we'll automatically block other ad services that aren't Google ad service". Oh wait, google ads are in the subset of advertising that ISN'T flash based? HOW INTERESTING... Conflict of.... something... int......
I have removed flash completely. The tiny little bit of flash content that i do want, i can do without.
I've stopped using Adobe Flash altogether. It's not that hard to get away from even if you stream a lot of video for entertainment purposes (like YouTube, and similar sites).
Install MPV: it's an AddOn for FireFox which lets you play flash video without flash (works on most sites already)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/watch-with-mpv/
It's basically just a front end for firefox for the youtube-dl software. You can see a list of the thousand or so supported sites here:
https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html
You can also install user agent switcher here to get around dumb sites that demand flash, but also support HTML5 on non-PC devices:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/
After installing the above just add the following to get around these sites:
1. Tools > Default User Agent > Edit User Agents
2. New > New User Agent
3. Enter under User Agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 3.0.1; en-us; GT-P7100 Build/HRI83) AppleWebkit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/534.13

"Flash gets special treatment due to its market share, but make no mistake, the browser manufacturers are looking to kill it as soon as reasonably possible, too." If this is true, it's only because they've found more obtrusive and abusive ways to advertise to us that are more difficult to block.
The elimination of plugins is happening for entirely technical reasons. Microsoft obviously has their own Silverlight plugin, support for which is also gone in their latest browser.
HTML 5 is the future, also for ads. AdBlock etc. handle them without problems.
Please. I've been using plugins to block flash for years. Why does google need to get involved, and late to the party as usual.
"I can't understand why you'd mock me thus"
You can't be unaware. Just look at this thread.
Like it or not, all the major browsers are phasing out plugin support.
They are doing no such thing. They are converging on one standard plugin architecture, that is all. Flash works because it has been written for each type, not because it gets special treatment. If you want to download it it'll even give you the option of PPAPI (Chrome / Opera), NPAPI (Firefox due to be phased out), and ActiveX (IE due to be phased out). The phase outs are simply shifts to PPAPI instead.
Explain to me how repeatedly posting unwanted advertisements for your product on Slashdot isn't spamming?

They are doing no such thing. [...] PPAPI (Chrome / Opera), NPAPI (Firefox due to be phased out), and ActiveX (IE due to be phased out).
Did you just rebut my claim that plugin support is being phased out by mentioning three incompatible plugin systems, two of which are end-of-life? Neither Firefox, Microsoft Edge (nor Safari for that matter) are slated to gain PPAPI support.
PPAPI plugins are only supported in Chrome and its variants, and usage is dismal. Of plugins that were most popular just two years ago, neither Silverlight (end-of-life), Unity Webplayer (end-of-life), the Google Earth plugin, Java, the Google Hangouts plugin nor the Facebook Videos plugin are available as PPAPI. PPAPI is in practice an internal Chrome API to be used with built-in modules (not plugins) such as Flash, the PDF viewer and NaCL.
All the above mentioned plugins are being supplanted by various HTML 5 features, with the possible exception of Java (which is just dying, as an in-browser technology). The native browser features aren't all there yet; Unity's native WebGL offering is still struggling with audio and video fidelity, but the gap is closing quickly. Already, Unity reports that compiling C# to .NET IL, IL to C++, and then C++ to asm.js JavaScript, and executing the result in Firefox, yields slightly better performance than executing the original IL in the (admitedly, somewhat dated) Mono runtime normally used in Unity.
Did you just rebut my claim that plugin support is being phased out by mentioning three incompatible plugin systems, two of which are end-of-life?
Yes I did. Did you just read half my comment and then claim it wasn't a rebut because you missed the part about the OTHER TWO CONVERGING?
So let me repeat it again for those of us with short attention spans: "They are converging on one standard plugin architecture". Firefox is phasing out support for NPAPI and implementing a system that supports Chrome extensions, basically a translation layer that will support PPAPI for those of you who missed the Slashdot discussion on this last week. IE has already implemented NPAPI as an alternative to ActiveX in edge (thank god) and according to their forums they are deciding whether to adopt other schemes in wake of Mozilla and Chrome's recent abandonment of the old scheme.
Claiming that an alternative doesn't exist because usage is small is utter garbage. Silverlight, et al are not being ported to PPAPI because of the developer's choice, nothing more. There's nothing stopping these plugins to be ported to another plugin API like Flash has, but really thank god it isn't. No one will miss any of the above except for a few people running legacy code.
Times change, APIs, change, and we move on. We port, or we let things fade into obsolescence. But don't pretend that browsers have phased out plugin support as currently all major browsers have a plugin API, and those who have signalled they are phasing out one have announced plans to support another.
