YouTube replaces Adobe Flash Player with HTML5 video


702x271xYouTube-HTML5-Video-Main-Pic-702


Adobe’s Flash hasn’t had a good time of late, first with a recent security flaw that caused mild panic across the Internet, and now news that YouTube, the world’s most popular video website, has ditched Flash and will use HTML5 video instead.


The changes have been on the cards for a very long time. It was 2010 that Google (who owns YouTube) first announced the test version of the HTML5 video player. Last year, most of the content was already switched over to HTML5 in the most popular browsers, but now the switch has been flipped.


Even Steve Jobs, the former Apple CEO, had a thing against Flash, saying that it was a resource hog and wasn’t well suited for mobile devices. It was only a few years ago that Adobe also stopped official support for Flash on Android and other mobile devices.



I don't use it any more and this blocks a load of adverts for me. I simply didn't bother updating it so it asks permission before doing anything, I never give permission.

Anyone who uses adverts of any kind on their websites should consider getting rid of flash - it won't exist within a year.
