As of January 1, 2021, Adobe has defined Adobe Flash's end of life cycle.

Adobe Flash Player (formerly Macromedia Flash Player) was a software for mainly graphic use, which allowed you to create or use vector animations mainly for the web.
It has also been used to create games or entire websites and thanks to its evolution over time it has become a powerful tool for the creation of Rich Internet Applications and audio / video streaming platforms, also by virtue of its ability to capture mouse inputs. keyboard, microphone and webcam.

Indeed Flash has been a cornerstone for many programmers in website programming.
It offered many graphical features and the possibility of manipulation even through a web code very similar to javascript.

It had been rumored for years that Flash would soon be withdrawn from the market, because its vulnerabilities had been known for too long.

In fact, despite continuous updates to make it unassailable, Flash was targeted by hackers and was used to sneak into the computers of its unsuspecting users due to programming bugs in the code.

Already 11 years ago Steve Jobs predicted an unglorious end by saying:


Apple & egrave; a company that does not have the resources that everyone else has. We have to choose which technologies to ride and which we think are best for users. Each technology has its own cycle of cites, and they (Flash) will be practically in the grave after the summer. We cannot afford to use a technology in its final cycle, it would only cost us so much effort and useless work. I remember that Apple, despite the many criticisms, is; was the first to abandon 3.5 floppies and on the MacBook Air we removed the optical drive. People call us `` crazy '', but we have to ride the right wave, and in this case it's not called Flash but HTML5.
As for Flash web pages, most of the content is advertisements or otherwise animations not useful to the user.
It is now a story I have talked about a thousand times and I repeat: we will not make useless efforts to bring Flash to the iPhone platform!
Our goal is; always to create a perfect product for our users, and I believe that Flash is not perfect at all.

Adobe urges all users to uninstall Flash immediately, as the final terms are already in place; elapsed; also because & egrave; It is possible that, if the Flash software were to require updating, a probable update could be requested by non-recommendable parties who would take advantage of the ingenuity & agrave; of inexperienced users.

However, programmers have long since stopped using Flash, and all the pages that used it have gradually started migrating to other, more reliable technologies.

In this regard, the case of Youtube.com is significant: there was a period in which Youtube fully relied on Flash technology, also because the whole world seemed to have turned towards this solution.
But even this giant of ' computer, unable to continue, had to turn to other technologies that HTML has provided to meet the need for a web where video was king.
