Adobe: No Flash for Android Chrome Beta
Good riddens!
Can we just please kill Flash now?
I never thought I'd say this, but Apple was right to exclude Flash. Anytime my browser crashes (phone or desktop) it's always when Flash content is loading.
I disabled flash from my Chrome browser on my PC, and have not seen a crash in ages. I just wish more websites supported HTML5.

It is being standardized by the W3C.

Supposedly it will be ready in about 3 years. Even so, much of it is pretty much set in stone hence why it is already implemented in almost all modern browsers.
It's the flash replacement type things that aren't agreed upon yet, like which codec to use for web video.

The video tag is standardized, and WebM is the proposed solution by Google.
Other companies are pushing other formats. The problem is finding a format that is completely royalty free (they can't use any piece of patented technology) otherwise a patent troll might use it to sue all the browser makers.

Just to add -
Google is pushing WebM
Apple is pushing H.264
Opera and Firefox are backing Ogg

All this standards stuff should have been figured out BEFORE giving up on flash. Just like NASA should have had the nexgen space shuttle, Orion, ready BEFORE retiring the space shuttle.
Excuse me for making sense.

No, it is NEVER right for a company to deny its customers their right to choose what programs they want to run, sorry....I don't care if Adobe Flash is the worst program ever written in the history of the Milky Way galaxy, if I want to run it, Steve Jobs has no business telling me that I can't
