In his article on internet security, Tom Jowitt covers updates Mozilla is undertaking to improve stability and browser speed. These improvements include reducing flash in webpages, and upgrading to HTML5 for security improvements and improving industry standards. He then goes on to summarize the long demise of flash use on the web and its history of security issues.
Key Takeaways:
- The demise of Adobe’s Flash technology has moved another step closer with the news that Mozilla will from next month begin blocking “certain Flash content that is not essential to the user experience” in its Firefox browser.
- Mozilla also said that while it would still support legacy Flash content, it has made clear its intention to gradually replace Flash altogether “over time” with HTML.
- In the end however, Adobe does have an issue with Flash, as there continues to be huge amount of Flash content out there, and therefore it has to keep its Flash Player as stable and secure as possible.
