Chrome 76 Arrives With Flash Blocked By Default

'Google today launched Chrome 76 for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and
iOS. The release includes Adobe Flash blocked by default, Incognito
mode detection disabled, multiple PWA improvements, and more developer
features. You can update to the latest version now using Chrome's
built-in updater or download it directly from google.com/chrome.
Google has been taking baby steps to kill off Flash for years. In
2015, Chrome started automatically pausing less important Flash
content. In 2016, Chrome started blocking "behind the scenes" Flash
content and using HTML5 by default. In July 2017, however, Adobe said
it would kill Flash by 2020. With Chrome 76, Flash is now blocked by
default. Users can still turn it on in settings, but next year, Flash
will be removed from Chrome entirely.'
