If you hate Adobe Flash based ads, I have good news for you. Google announced in a blog post that it is Google is closing down its Swiffy Flash conversion tool as of July 1st.:
Today more consumers are using the web in HTML5-compatible environments than Flash-compatible environments. In order to reach as large an audience as possible, we encourage everyone to transition to HTML5 authoring.
One thing that this change will mean for you is that the use of Flash ads as an attack vector will start to disappear. That makes you safer when surfing online. Second, it will force other ad providers such as Yahoo to do the same. That will make you even safer. Finally, it will hasten the death of Adobe Flash as something that you need to surf the net. That day cannot come soon enough.
