Microsoft Edge will intelligently pause Flash animations in next update
The next update to Microsoft's Edge browser will automatically pause Adobe Flash when it detects it in ads and animations on a website, reducing power consumption and lessening the load on your computer. The update, coming in Windows 10's Anniversary update this summer, will continue to automatically play videos and games central to a page's purpose, but will make it so that Edge users will need to click to play Flash animations used in "peripheral content."
