(I could probably code it myself in PHP and JavaScript, and I’m not even a professional coder.) But I can’t even figure out who or how to contact both organizations seem like impenetrable bureaucracies.© 2011, Education Development Center, Inc. My goal was to persuade them to keep the virtual credit cards system, but switch it to something other than Flash, which shouldn’t be that hard. My repeated attempts to contact somebody in tech/development, at either BoA or MasterCard International, have all failed. (That’s on top of the clunky interface of the web app, which was always far worse than the original desktop app that BoA killed off.) It is becoming increasingly difficult to use the ShopSafe system in Firefox. Now I have to use a browser-based Flash application (in my case, inside Mac Firefox) via BoA’s website to work with ShopSafe. Then BoA acquired MBNA, MasterCard International acquired Orbiscom, and the desktop app disappeared. They had a convenient desktop app that ran on my Mac, although the app may have been Flash-powered under the hood, I’m not sure. Originally, many years ago, this technology was created by a company named Orbiscom, and I accessed it through my MBNA Bank credit card. The only need I still have for Flash is to create or edit Bank of America’s virtual credit cards (“ShopSafe”), which I think are slightly safer than using your “real” credit card directly in online shopping. Now you: do you access Flash content regularly or occasionally? Flash support won't be changed in classic Edge and Internet Explorer while it may very well be made less usable in other browsers to further discourage usage. If you need to access Flash content on the Web, you need to pick one of these. Closing wordsĪll browsers will support Flash until the end of 2020 and some will even do so beyond the end of the year. Microsoft Edge admins may check the following Group Policy options to manage Flash usage in the web browser. Internet Explorer prompts you when it encounters Flash content when you remove the global wildcard. You may select "allow on all sites" at any time to restore the default status. Select the "remove all sites" button to remove the wildcard.Right-click on Shockwave Flash Object and select "more information".If you don't see Shockwave Flash Object listed, change the "show" menu to "all add-ons". Make sure Toolbars and Extensions is selected.You may disallow Flash content on all sites - the default in Internet Explorer - so that the browser prompts you whenever Flash content is loaded. While you can allow Flash content on a page, it is no longer possible to permanently allow Flash content on a page or site. Google Chrome displays a "Flash will no longer be supported" message on start if Flash is not disabled. We still plan to fully remove Flash from these browsers by December 2020, as originally communicated.īoth browsers will keep the current status quo in regards to Flash content which means that they may be the best options when it comes to playing Flash content in browsers until the end of 2020. Specifically, we no longer intend to update either Microsoft Edge (built on EdgeHTML) or Internet Explorer 11 to disable Flash by default. The announcement reveals that the disabling of Flash won't happen in 2019 after all.įor both the in-market version of Microsoft Edge (built on EdgeHTML) and Internet Explorer 11, the current experience will continue as-is through 2019. Microsoft planned to disable Adobe Flash by default in Internet Explorer 11 and the classic Microsoft Edge web browser in 2019 and disable Flash completely at the end of 2020.
