    Even Adobe doesn't think people should use Flash any longer, so there likely won't be a huge amount of pushback on Chrome's changes. Flash is a menace on battery life and is continually found to have serious security flaws, so its eventual disappearance will be celebrated at every step.

Sounds like a good change. Which platforms are still using Flash and why?

I had to download Flash to get several things to work. Updating it is a pain. It would be nice if it went away seamlessly.
