Amazon dumps Flash, and the Web is better off

Amazon will stop accepting Flash ads on its advertising network on Tuesday. The move was prompted by a recent update from Google Chrome that limited how Flash was displayed on Web pages. Flash exploits are one of the most commonly used tools that the bad guys use to trick your browser into downloading and installing malicious software. Advertisers exploit Flash vulnerabilities to install malware on user computers, or send users to malicious sites. Flash won’t go away entirely, and will continue to be used to support older applications.”]
