adobe flash player alternative

New Here ,
Jan 30, 2022 Jan 30, 2022

Hi there,

 

I understand Adobe flash player is gone now (I've only found this out yesterday!), I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations of  alternatives to the Adobe player?

 

Thanks

No, there isn't any. Flash is dead. And Flash player has been EOL since end of 2020. That's more than a year ago.

You should a) ditch any software using flash and b) use HTML5 for anything that flash used to be on the web.

No alternatives needed.  All modern browsers natively support <video> and <audio> tags without 3rd party players. 

 

If you're going to legacy gaming sites that use Flash technology, you're out of luck.  Browsers don't support Flash anymore. 

 

The end of Flash was announced 3 years in advance so developers could replace their Flash content with other technologies before Flash died last year.   Those that did are still in business.  Those that didn't are gone now.

 

For developers, Adobe Animate CC replaced Flash Pro.
