The end of Adobe Flash seems to be approaching. For years, we all know that the disadvantages are more than the advantages but its removal from the web is constantly delayed.
Microsoft seems to have decided to do something about the issue and added a feature to the Edge browser that automatically stops Flash ads.
So any peripheral content (advertisements, and random animations) will not be shown unless the user wants it, which in order to see the blocked content all he has to do is click on this.
Microsoft says that the Edge update will “significantly reduce consumption energys. ”
Microsoft claims the feature is smart enough to distinguish between peripheral content and central content. Central content is considered videos or games.
Hopefully, the tool will not be too aggressive or buggy and display ads when it blocks the videos.
