It's been a long journey since Adobe announced plans to gradually phase out Flash technology in July 2017. For many years, Flash has been criticized for its security vulnerabilities and performance issues, especially with the emergence of HTML5 and browser developers beginning to discontinue support for the technology at that time.
December 8, 2020 marks the release of the final update for Adobe Flash Player. As previously announced, Flash Player will be supported until December 31. Additionally, Adobe will block Flash content from running within Flash Player after January 12, 2021, so you won't be able to use it after this time frame.
Since the initial announcement in 2017, there has been increasing news about Flash being phased out from various browsers. Microsoft announced plans to 'end-of-life' Flash across all its browsers last year, and Apple announced it would remove Flash from Safari in early 2020.
Moreover, if you're using browsers like Coc Coc, Opera, Firefox, etc., for work or watching online videos, you should also update Adobe Flash Player for a better experience. If you don't know how to update Adobe Flash Player, you can refer to this guide.
