Adobe Flash Player Support

Question

I got a notice today stating that Adobe Flash Player support will end December 31st, 2020. I did read the Adobe Flash Player End of Life information but am not quite savvy in tech knowledge. If I remove this software, what software will replace it? Will it be from Adobe or some other source? Thanks.

There are various technologies, such as HTML5, that offer the same, or similar, functionality as Flash Player. The onus is on the content providor, not the content consumer, to migrate the content to a different technology.

As a consumer of Flash technology, you don't need to do anything as it's the content developer/creator that needs to update their content. Note that in some cases, content creators have chosen to not update their content. In these cases, the content will not be viewable after Flash Player's end-of-life as browser vendors will also terminate support for Flash Player.
