Apples Safari is driving another nail in the coffin of Adobe Flash by no longer telling websites that offer both Flash and HTML5 that the plug-in is installed on users Macs.

The Mac maker is planning similar measures with other plug-ins like Java, Silverlight and QuickTime.

On websites that offer both Flash and HTML5 implementations of content, Safari users will now always experience the modern HTML5 implementation, delivering improved performance and battery life, he added.

For most websites that detect that Flash isnt available, but dont have an HTML5 fallback, a message that Flash isnt installed will be displayed with a link to download Flash from Adobe.

The procedure is the same for other common plug-ins, according to Mondello.

Google is adopting a similar strategy to promote HTML5 in Chrome by making it the default experience for websites, except for a whitelist of top 10 websites like YouTube and Facebook that use Flash.

Google, Apple, Microsoft and other players are promoting the use of HTML5, which is seen to offer faster load times and lower power consumption.

The Flash Player, once critical for rich media on the Web, also has a poor track record for vulnerabilities.

Adobe Systems has clearly seen the writing on the wall, and said in November it would offer tools for developing HTML5 content, while continuing to support Flash content, as open standards like HTML5 have matured and provide many of the capabilities that Flash ushered in.
