2020 did one good thing: Adobe’s Flash is finally dead

[Chris Smith]

• Adobe Flash Player will no longer work on computers and devices that still supported the software.
• Adobe will block the program come January 12th, and Flash will not be available in major browsers.
• Companies like Microsoft and Facebook will also block Flash. Apple has already been doing it for years.

The 2020 meme needs no more introductions. Last year was an awful, awful year. It wasn’t just the novel coronavirus pandemic that ruined normal life. The world experienced a variety of bad events from early January 2020 through December. Netflix has an aptly titled Death to 2020 mockumentary that hilariously documents all of the strangeness of 2020. But if there’s one thing that 2020 did right, that’s “killing” Flash. An iconic functionality of the old internet is now gone. Adobe and other companies no longer support Adobe Flash. Internet browsers will also lose Flash support soon, which might render some games and web apps useless for a period. If you have Flash installed on your device, you should remove it as soon as possible. If a program tells you that you need to download Flash Player, better avoid it. It might be malicious behavior.
