Chrome's latest on Flash
I just got this from a customer:
For your information, from February 2017, Chrome will suggest/redirect to a
html5 webpage if there are objects in a webpage in Flash (but still ok)
From October 2017, Adobe Flash will not be supported anymore on Chrome
Are there any resources to support or not to out there?
Thanks

André is correct, as far as I know.
mark, whoever your customer is, they are spreading FUD. Chrome is
preferring html5, but has by no means announced anything to suggest that
flash will no longer be supported.

Google has not announced that they will completely remove Flash Player from
Chrome. They have a roadmap (https://www.chromium.org/flash-roadmap), and
this is what it says:
We will continue to ship Flash Player with Chrome, and if a site truly
> requires Flash, a prompt will appear at the top of the page when the user

Between now and October 2017, Chrome will increase the number of websites
where they force HTML by default. When a website defaults to HTML, but it
requires Flash Player, a prompt will ask the user if they want to allow
Flash Player. Once they have allowed Flash Player on a website, they won't
be asked again for the same website. After October 2017, all websites will
be HTML by default in Chrome, but users will still be able to enable Flash
Player.
Here is a mockup of what the experience will be like when your site is
forced to HTML by default:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/106_KLNJfwb9L-1hVVa4i29aw1YXUy9qFX-Ye4kvJj-4/edit#slide=id.g1270f83468_0_12
As you can see, if your site displays a fallback message when a user
doesn't have Flash Player installed, that's what Chrome users will start to
see. In my opinion, it might be smart to display a different message for
Chrome users that tells them to "enable" or "allow" Flash Player instead of
"install" it.
