Google now automatically converts Flash ads to HTML5
-
Google today began automatically converting Adobe Flash ads to HTML5. As a result, it’s now even easier for advertisers to target users on the Google Display Network without a device or browser that supports Flash.
Not sure if this is good news, actually

As far as I'm concerned it is good news. I hate hate HATE flash with a passion.

I don't believe it is. I can set plugins/flash to "click to enable" so that I only see grey boxes instead of ads. Can't do that with HTML5. :(

If I block the div an ad is in, it doesn't matter if it was implemented in flash, html5, java, or silverblight; all are equally hidden from my view.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

I wonder if they built their own tool for scratch, or if they're building off of Shumway[^], Mozilla's attempt to create a flash runtime in javascript.

YEah - but this initiative won't make it die - it will increase its lifespan - as why would flash devs learn HTML5 if they can keep doing what tghey are doing and have Google do the conversion for them?

You've a point. But maybe they will end-of-life the conversion after giving the converted-to-HTML5 flash code back to the admakers. Then also, at the same time, strip all flash out of webpages displayed in chrome.
