Google Search stops indexing Flash content

After the partial of Flash from Chrome, the company decided to stop indexing pages with Flash content on the web with Google Search, making them much harder to find.

Adobe's timeline for the end of Flash support is just one year. So Google decided to reduce the display of content with Flash in Chrome from December .Google Search

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 any of this change," said Dong-Hwi Lee, Google's engineering manager.

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 his stop ιστοσελίδων με περιεχόμενο Flash από την υπηρεσία Google Search, δίνει ένα επιπλέον κίνητρο στους διαχειριστές να σταματήσουν την χρήση του Flash και να χρησιμοποιήσουν τεχνολογίες HTML5 που υποστηρίζουν όλα τα σύγχρονα προbrowsing.

Google has disabled Flash in Chrome by default since of Chrome 76 last July. THE σταματάει επίσης να υποστηρίζει το Flash στο πρόγραμμα περιήγησης Edge που χρησιμοποιεί το . Mozilla also disabled it by default Flash on Firefox 69 last September.
