Microsoft Edge Will Start Automatically Pausing Less Important Flash Content (venturebeat.com)

An anonymous reader cites an article on VentureBeat: Microsoft Edge will "intelligently auto-pause" Flash content that is "not central to the webpage." If you want to try this out now, you can take the feature for a spin with Windows 10 build 14316, which was recently made available to Windows Insiders. Peripheral content like animations or advertisements built with Flash will be displayed in a paused state unless the user explicitly clicks to play that content. This significantly reduces power consumption and improves performance while preserving the full fidelity of the page. Flash content that is central to the page, like video and games, will not be paused. Microsoft wrote in a blog post, "We encourage the web community to continue the transition away from Flash and towards open web standards. We are planning for and look forward to a future where Flash is no longer necessary as a default experience in Microsoft Edge."

Sounds like you need Servo.

[Anonymous Coward]

You need to try Servo. It's the next-generation browser engine from Mozilla and it's fantastic. It's written in Rust so it's beyond secure, because Rust is the most secure programming language ever created. Rust is also native compiled like C so it's fast. Some people have even found Rust to be faster than C! Rust is the next-generation programming language from Mozilla in case you aren't aware. Rust and Servo are the future. They're taking the current state of the art and bumping it up not just one notch, and not just two notches, but at least five or six notches. They've elevated the game and now it's time for the other browser vendors to start playing catch-up with Rust and Servo.

Holy crap, six notches! That's roughly four notches more then an average up-bumping.
Wow, im so excited over the amount of next-generationness it contains.

Microsoft working with Linux, Firefox sucking, "IE is a real browser", the president of the US in Cuba... I get these days the SCO suit against Linux is the only thing holding the world together and preventing the hell from freezing over.
