Only used by eight percent of Chrome users

The percentage of daily Chrome users who've loaded at least one page containing Flash content per day has gone down from around 80 percent in 2014 to under 8 percent in early 2018.

Parisa Tabriz, Director of Engineering at Google, told the assorted throngs at the Network and Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS) in San Diego that Flash would probably be gone long before Adobe stops supporting the media player in 2020.

Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and all major browsers have already moved from a Flash-enabled-by-default to a Flash-click-to-play policy since last year, the massive drop in Flash usage numbers is a huge surprise for most industry experts.
