When mainstream web browsers started blocking Flash content- including Safari and Google Chrome-that sealed the platform’s fate. The rise of HTML5 and CSS3 helped drive more nails into Flash’s coffin, as did the shift away from including the platform as part of standard operating system installations. Flash is plagued with security problems, was never designed with touch interfaces in mind, and has been far too processor and resource heavy to efficiently run on mobile devices. That’s the friendly way of saying Flash lost relevance when web browsing shifted to mobile devices, but its days were numbered even before that. With Flash playing such a small role in our online browsing experience, it doesn’t make sense to continue dumping resources into the platform. Web features that used to require plug-ins are built into browsers, making Flash a relic from the past that’s been tenuously hanging on for years. And now that 2020 is over - thank goodness - you can uninstall Flash from your Mac.Īdobe says Flash was deprecated over time by new open standards like HTML5, WebGL and WebAssembly. Adobe just announced the official demise of its once-dominant multimedia platform, which will ride off into the sunset for the last time by the end of 2020. I’ve said it before, but this time Adobe is making it official: Flash is dead.
