Yeah, my bad. I was only referring to the within Chrome part, rather than
their actual dropping of supported platforms. They've dropped support for
all mobile everything as well. But, they're not updating the Linux version
in Chrome either. It's not that Adobe is only updating for Chrome, they're
only updating for their supported platforms, and Google is bundling it into
Chrome.

It's demonstrably more stable, faster and uses less resources. However,
this seems to only be on Windows from what I'm reading now, so maybe ignore
that comment since I pretty much only use Windows on the desktop.

Fair enough. Although, AdBlock+ and NoScript and such are also available in
Chrome.
