However, currently in January 2021, the figure has plummeted to 2.2 percent. In 2011, at the prime of Flash Players, W3Techs, the web technology survey site, recorded that 28.5 percent of all websites at the time uses Flash code. This number has continued to plummet since. At a conference in 2018, the Director Of Engineering at Google, Parisa Tabriz, said that the percentage of daily Chrome users who have loaded at least one page containing Flash content per day went down from 80 percent in 2014 to under 8 percent in early 2018. Google didn't terminate the use of Flash in Chrome without any reason. The legacy FTP implementation in Chrome has no support for encrypted connections (FTPS), nor proxies.'įTP wasn't the only feature terminated, Flash was also eliminated. Upon the release of the Chrome 88 version, Google stated that: 'All FTP support is disabled. In Google Chrome 76, the abilities of Google Chrome's FTP implementation were restricted to either displaying a directory listing or downloading over unencrypted connections.

In Chrome 77, FTP support was disabled by default for 50 percent percent of users but was available with flags. The abilities of Google Chrome's FTP implementation were restricted to either displaying a directory listing or downloading over unencrypted connections. In Google Chrome 76, proxy support was removed entirely. A bug in Google Chrome 74 and later versions resulted in dropping support for accessing FTP URLs over HTTP proxies. Google had previously removed support for fetching document sub resources over FTP and rendering of top-level FTP resources in Google Chrome 72 and later versions. Google removed support for FTP in the Chrome browser because usage is significantly low and it is no longer viable to invest in improving the existing FTP client.

The most notable part of this release is the removal of the Adobe Flash Player and FTP features. On January 19th, 2021, Google released a new Chrome version-Chrome 88.
