Adobe Flash player

Adobe Flash no longer supported after Dec. 2020. I have a Windows 10 installed, what about future updating? Any other taking its place? Some sites require a player for viewing ads, etc.

    #1 After Dec 31st, Flash Player is dead. 

    #2 No.

    #3 Not anymore because nobody will see them.

     

    Flash content developers have had 3 years to prepare for this.  If they didn't switch to new web technologies by now, they are already obsolete.  This is just the final nail in the coffin.
