I thought Flash was already dead. Didn't Apple kill it back in 2010?

It's on paper only. Even today, nothing relevant uses it anymore.

Actually flash games have kept it alive far too long, and there are still some old websites using it for players.

Flash would have died earlier had Hulu made the switch to HTML5, but they have stuck with Flash since the beginning due to the extensive framework of software that is connected to it on the backend of their network.

Let's see how this schedule turns out.. There's still huge amounts of flash crap out there, maintainers of which didn't bother with replacements whilst well aware it was crap already 10 years ago.

Flash will still be in use by 2030 at least.
