Written by Michael Larabel in Proprietary Software on 25 July 2017 at 12:26 PM EDT. 80 Comments

Adobe has confirmed they will be ending their support for Flash by the end of the year 2020.

In favor of HTML5 and newer technologies, Adobe Flash officially has a death sentence for 2020.

Should you be interested in learning more and still dependent on Flash, see Adobe's announcement. Mozilla has also published their Flash EOL plans as well as the Chrome/Chromium folks.
