Adobe To Kill Off Flash in 2020: Is Your Photo Website Ready?
Flash is soon to be on the chopping block. The once ubiquitous and now much-maligned software from Adobe will officially be end-of-lifed at the end of 2020.
All the Major Browsers Will Soon Block Flash, is Your Website Ready?
It's happened. Safari did it in June, Firefox will do it by 2017, and now Chrome has officially announced they will do it, too: they're blocking flash by default in favor of HTML5. If your photography website runs on Flash, it may be time for a change.
Have a Flash-Based Photo Website? Now is the Time to Switch
Heads up: if you have a photography website powered by Adobe Flash, you should make plans now to switch to something other than Flash. Flash-based photo sites have long been the source of frustration due to usability issues (and auto-playing music), but now major Internet forces are rallying to kill off the technology.
