Safari Flash 10 off default – ComputerWorld Venezuela

 

 SafarApple Safari Apple is nailing another nail in the coffin of Adobe Flash, to no longer say to websites that offer Flash and HTML5 that the complement is installed on Macs of users.

the Mac maker is planning similar measures with other items such as QuickTime Java, and Silverlight. This measure will force websites with implementations based media supplements and HTML5 to use their HTML5, he said.

When Safari 10, the new version of its browser, this fall is delivered, this default will behave as if they were not installed common legacy ons Macs users wrote Ricky Mondello, software engineer at Apple, in a blog post.

“on websites that provide implementations content Flash and HTML5, Safari users now always experience the modern implementation HTML5, providing better performance and battery life, “he added.

for most websites that detect Flash not available, but they do not have HTML5 as plan B, a message that says “Flash is not installed” along with a link to download Flash from Adobe is displayed. When a user clicks one of these links, Safari advise them that the plug is already installed and will allow them to activate only once or every time the website is visited. The default option will activate only once

.  Apple will disable Flash Player default in  Safari 10.

Apple disable Flash Player default Safari 10.

The procedure is the same for other common supplements, according to Mondello.

Google is adopting a similar strategy to promote HTML5 in Chrome, to make the experience default for websites, except for a list of 10 major websites as YouTube.com and Facebook.com using Flash.

for the other sites that require Flash, a message will appear at the top of the page when the user first visit, giving you the option of run or not to run Flash on the site.

Google, Apple, Microsoft and others are promoting the use of HTML5, which is seen as an option that offers times faster loading and lower power consumption . Flash Player, which was once critical for rich media on the Web, also has a poor record in terms of vulnerabilities.

Adobe Systems has seen the warnings, and said in November it would offer tools to develop HTML5 content, while at the same time continue supporting Flash content, while “open standards like HTML5 mature and provide many of the capabilities that Flash started”.

Safari 10 can be tested by installing the beta of the upcoming operating system macOS Sierra, and will also be available as a beta for OS X Yosemite and El Capitan this summer, Mondello said.
