Flash is dying faster than expected: the latest statistics are showing that only 8% of daily Chrome users have loaded at least one page with Flash content, a 72% decrease from the numbers reported in 2014. The number of computers that have Flash installed is probably still high, however.



Flash’s demise was to be expected, though. Adobe announced last year plans to stop supporting the Adobe Flash Media Player by the end of 2020. But while Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and all major browsers have already moved from a Flash-enabled-by-default to a Flash-click-to-play policy since last year, the massive drop in Flash usage numbers is a huge surprise for most industry experts.
