Adobe plans to retire Flash in 2020

Adobe Flash managed to stick around all these years despite the rise of new and better video formats such as HTML5. The plugin is still built-in with the web browsers. The Flash Player is still popular and it’s being regularly criticized for its security issues. Adobe last year confirmed that the Flash Player would go away soon.

It apparently makes sense for Adobe to discontinue the Flash Player as open standards such as HTML5 and WebGL are now fully mature technologies.

“Today, most browser vendors are integrating capabilities once provided by plugins directly into browsers and deprecating plugins,” the company said.

Adobe plans to retire Flash in 2020 and in the meantime, it would be supposed on desktop operating systems and web browsers.

“We will stop updating and distributing the Flash Player at the end of 2020 and encourage content creators to migrate any existing Flash content to these new open formats,” the company explained.

Microsoft will also phase out Flash from Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer over the next three years.
