Microsoft now says the new “full-Chromium” Edge will use the same kill-Flash calendar as Google’s Chrome, the vastly more popular browser that also relies on Chromium.
Earlier, Microsoft had created its own timetable for purging the media player software, which Adobe will retire at the end of 2020. But once Microsoft decided to discard homegrown browser technologies for those crafted by the Google-dominated Chromium open-source project, the company was expected to fall in line with its rival.
“In the next version of Microsoft Edge (built on Chromium), we will continue to retire Flash in the same timeframe as other Chromium-based browsers,” Colleen Williams, a senior program manager on the Edge team, wrote last week in a post to a company blog.
