'Moving forward, Google will be including Flash Player in Chrome so users will always have the most current release and a safer and more seamless experience,' said Paul Betlem, senior director of Flash Player engineering at Adobe, in a blog post. Google and Adobe officials hailed the Flash Player effort. Additionally, Adobe and Google are part of an effort to improve interaction between browsers and plugins. The initial effort Tuesday involves an integration of Chrome and Flash Player in the developer channel with the inclusion of Flash Player 10.1 beta 3 in Chrome. Google with its Chrome browser is making accommodations for the Adobe Flash Player, a move that did not sit well with some early commentators wondering why Google is now pushing Flash when it has backed HTML5, a potential rival to Flash.įlash Player 10.1 will ship with Chrome when the plug-in upgrade is available at some point in the first half of this year.
