Adobe is removing Flashplayer from Google Play Store on Android. It will also stop development of theFlash player for mobile devices.

Adobe said in its blog, “We made the decision todiscontinue support for Android mobile browser because of two reasons: 1)Premium experiences on mobile devices are typically being delivered throughapps and 2) Mobile websites mostly rely onHTML5 based video delivery.”


Adobe will continue to provide security updatesand bug fixes for users who have already installed the player until September2013. The company has also said it will continue to work on development ofFlash for PCs.

Good God knows when it will go from Windows, cuz most of the time my browser crashes in windows due to Flash

i disabled flash in firefox. now those html5 youtube ads that autoplay are a pita. otherwise, its been a nice experience without flash till now. best part is no annoying flash banners or heavy animation loading in webpages.

Flash for PC will also rest in peace in a near future. Thanks to HTML5
