Now this is smart. Apple’s newest version of Safari will automatically disable Adobe’s Flash on a user’s computer if it’s not the most recent version.
I wonder if this will help accelerate the decline of Flash. Eventually, users will stop upgrading because the bother they have to go through to upgrade won’t be worth it; they’ll just find sites that don’t use flash. Video sites like Google and Vimeo already support HTML5 so that takes care of most of them.
I uninstalled Flash on my laptop a long time ago. I have no complaints and I haven’t looked back since.
