Blackberry Abandons Flash in their Internet Browser

Blackberry has officially abandoned Adobe Flash in their main internet browser for all Blackberry 10 enabled smartphones.  This move was prompted by Adobe ceasing active support for the platform as the industry seems to have embraced HTML5.

When users upgrade to the BlackBerry OS 10.3.1 update for all supported phones it now removes support for Adobe Flash on the Blackberry browser. Some users were wondering why this happened and initially thought it was a bug.  BlackBerry has now offered an explanation as to why this has occurred.

According to BlackBerry, "BlackBerry 10 OS has been on the market for the past two years, and we continue to have the highest mobile HTML5 test score. We understand how important web browsing is to you, which is why we have always invested in giving you the best possible web browsing experience."

If you need to have a Flash enabled internet browser there are many to choose from. You might want to check out Dolphin Browser, which continues to be the most popular ones out there.
