Adobe has finally decided to stop supporting and updating Flash Player by 2020.Flash used to be among the widest-used ways for users to watch video clips and play games online.
At the same time, the software attracted a lot of criticism, primarily due to its security vulnerability.
The firm took to its official website to make a statement, suggesting that “in collaboration with several of our (Adobe’s) technology partners – including Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla – the company is planning to end-of-life Flash. Specifically, the firm will stop updating and distributing the Flash Player at the end of 2020 and encourage content creators to migrate any existing Flash content to these new open formats.”
In other words, after 2020, Adobe will stop releasing updates for Flash and web browsers will no longer support it.
Adobe Flash met its inception almost 20 years from now. Initially, the platform was most preferred by major developers to create games, video players and applications capable of running on multiple web browsers.
