After Chrome partially supported Flash, the company decided to stop indexing Flash content pages on the web with Google Search, making it much harder to find.
Adobe's timetable for ending Flash support is just one year. So Google has decided to reduce the viewing of Flash content in Chrome since December of 2020.
In an update to webmasters blog, Google says it will stop supporting Flash "later this year". Google Search will "ignore" Flash content on web pages. It will also stop indexing standalone SWF (Shockwave Flash) files.
“Most users and websites will not see anything from this change”, δήλωσε ο Dong-Hwi Lee, engineering manager at Google.
Adobe launched Flash in 1996, a year before Google launched it. According to Search Engine Land, Google began indexing Flash files on 2008, prompting developers and designers to create animations, games, and more.
Of course now with the stop indexing of web pages with Flash content by Google Search, it gives an additional incentive to administrators to stop using Flash and use HTML5 technologies that support all modern programs tours.
Google disables Flash in Chrome by default from its release Chrome 76 last July. Microsoft also stops supporting Flash in the Edge browser which uses This makes it a perfect choice for people with diabetes and for those who want to lose weight or follow a balanced diet. Chromium. Mozilla also disabled it by default Flash on Firefox 69 last September.
