After 25 years of dominance, it’s finally time for Adobe Flash Player to take a bow. A few weeks ago, Adobe gave up support for Flash Player. For security reasons, it continues to strongly recommend that all users uninstall the browser plug-in immediately. Starting today, Adobe has gone one step further by completely blocking the Flash Player content.
The end of an era for Flash Player
When users try to load Flash games or content in browsers such as Chrome, the content cannot load. Instead, it displays a small banner leading to the Flash stop page on the Adobe website. Although this is the official discontinuation of the Flash Player, this player is no longer active by default on many browsers. In fact, browsers started deactivating the Flash Player by default a few years ago. Nevertheless, Flash which was first launched by Macromedia in 1996 and acquired by Adobe in 2005, the 25-year era is officially over.
