MS Edge disables all Flash Ads

Coming soon

[tangor]

Microsoft will disable Flash ads by default in new versions of its Edge browser.

The Redmond software peddler said the upcoming Anniversary Update to Windows 10 will introduce a switched-on setting that disables some Flash content, requiring users to specifically activate Adobe's plugin. If you have the Windows Insider preview build 14316, then you already have the feature.

"One of our top priorities in building Edge has been that the web should be a dependably safe, performant, and reliable place for our customers," Microsoft said in announcing the feature.

We will be able to report that we were around to witness the death of Flash.

I think many of us bid adieu to flash back in 2003. Yet, the pesky critter is like Dracula: a horror that will not die!
