What Causes Shockwave Flash to Crash So Often? Google has disabled Flash in Chrome as a default technology already but still uses it when the user visits a site which is not supporting HTML5. The perks of HTML5 include using a lighter technology which is faster than Flash and consumes less battery. Most websites are switching to HTML5 from Flash. Adobe is also going to support Flash technology till the end of this year (2020). Android ceased using this technology a while ago whereas iOS never used this technology. However, now Flash is losing its prominence because it is being phased out on most platforms. Every system is also having Flash as a built-in technology to facilitate video streaming.

Seems the pkg also installs several framework bundles The bundle it installs in the '/Library/Application Support' folderĪs well as the bundle it installs in the '/Library/Internet Plug-Ins' folder The website says '10.7 or 10.8' (only) are supported Even Adobe®'s own website is maximally confusing on this plugin.
