Adobe Flash Player

New Here ,
Jul 18, 2020 Jul 18, 2020

Pop-ups keep informing me that Adobe Flash Player will no longer be supported by the end of 2020.  I have Windows 10 and wonder what will be replacing Adobe Flash Player.  Some websites, still ask to use the Flash Player when accessing their graphic data, especially some government agencies and utility companies.  I've been using the Flash Player and the Acrobat Reader DC for about 8 years, and have always found them to be very user friendly.   My 8 year old laptop has had both from the beginning, so I am able to use them on it.  And, with all the new Microsoft updates this year, I don't know if my old laptop is blocked from downloading Adobe updates as well, since I haven't seen any in a long time.  On my new laptop, the new Microsoft Edge browser does not support Flash Player or Acrobat Reader, and blocks downloads from Adobe.  All I really want to know is, if Adobe is planning any replacement for Flash Player or Acrobrat Reader DC, what would that be  Thank you.

AFAIK, Reader isn't going away.

Nothing replaces Flash Player. Those sites must change or they will stop working for almost everyone. 
Edge does support Flash for now, but has to be activated each time for each site, in order to make it more annoying for everyone. It can also view PDF without Acrobat Reader, or download them to open with Reader. Acrobat Reader will continue as normal.
