Remember the fight of Steve Jobs against Flash? Well, Apple is about to give the lunge end to this format playback multimedia content. the end of its support in Safari come with the next version of macOS expected this fall.
the web site Webkit, the development platform open browser Apple, published a blog entry team Safari, which explain that when macOS Sierra is available, Safari will not open by default sites containing Flash. Instead users will receive a message asking them if you want to enable this tool.
the problem for web sites with Flash is that Safari ask you every time you go to a new one, and this option can not be disabled altogether. Of course, once you access a page, you can tell that you want to use Flash whenever you come in, and the browser will place the site in a database with permission to run this tool.
The messages Apple will show when a web site has Flash will be: “to improve safety and save energy, Safari only activates the plug-ins Flash when you require it.”
Google has already stopped automatically play Flash content through Chrome, and in the case of this browser users must enable the option manually if you want these files are loaded.
in a previous report explained that Google had made this decision by battery problems that caused Flash – consume too much energy – and because it has become an insecure format. In this company he later joined Amazon, which also failed to show ads in this format.
In 2010 Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, wrote a manifesto in which he explained why he had made the decision not support the Flash format within iOS, leaving the iPhone and iPad can not view this content. This measure forced Internet to generate alternative media, and finally born on HTML5, which ended the hegemony of Flash.
Apple also block other plug-ins in your browser, as Silverlight and Java.
