Microsoft is also encouraging developers to make use of standardized content delivery mechanisms like JavaScript and HTML5 Encrypted Media Extensions, Media Source Extensions, Canvas, Web Audio, and RTC in the coming months. This feature will be first delivered to Windows Insiders, in the coming builds and a stable release will be made available with the Creators Update in early 2017.

At the end of this process, users will remain in control, and will be able to choose Flash for any site they visit.

In the coming months, we will actively monitor Flash consumption in Microsoft Edge and will gradually shorten the list of automatic exceptions. To ease the transition to HTML5, these changes initially will not affect the most popular sites which rely on Flash today. We are deeply aware that Flash is an integral part of many web experiences today. In this case, Flash will not be loaded, thus improving battery consumption, performance and hence, security. However, websites which are purely based on HTML5 will default to a clean HTML5 experience. The browser will remember your selection if you are subsequently visiting the same page. That doesn’t mean, it won’t support Flash, but a click-to run functionality for Flash content will be employed, which will ask for user permission before it gets loaded.
