There are rumors that run a “deeper partnerships” between Google and Adobe about the Chrome browser, which will soon be integrated flash without any installation, no plugins or download and activate traditional farewell separate updates. A kind of HTML5.
Here’s how Google explains the new agreement, which is already live in the channel browser Chrome Development, Chrome and Chrome and coming to OS:
When users download Chrome, you will also get the latest version of Adobe’s Flash Player. No need to install Flash Player separately.
Users will receive automatic updates on the Flash Player using the auto-update mechanism Google Chrome. This eliminates the need to manually download updates separately and reduces the security risk of using outdated versions.
Improving the traditional plug-in for browser plug-ins will be just as fast, stable and secure browser as HTML and JavaScript engines. Over time this will allow HTML, Flash and other plug-ins to be used together without problems in rendering and scripting.
Any discussion about Flash and HTML5 is based on the contrast between the two, and as Flash is a plug-insecure and inconsistent, while the video is based on how HTML5 video decoder is native to the browser. Integrating Flash in the browser, at least for users, could lead to all users from the anti-flash the enemy. What Adobe and Google are doing here is a little more complicated than it seems. Adobe says:
In addition, we are also working with Google, Mozilla, and the community on a new API that can provide a better way for all Web browsers and plug-ins to interact with each other. While the current NPAPI has served the industry lacks the flexibility and power to sustain the pace of innovation that we see ahead. We expect the new specification API offers some distinct advantages, beyond the current technologies available.
Probably not very important for owners of iPad, for which the main sites are already equipped with video decoder based on HTML. But as far as public perception goes, this style HTML5 integration can lead to good results for Adobe Flash.
