Does Adobe Really Need To Stop Supporting Flash Player?

Ok. We all know it(unless you have been living under a rock). Adobe will stop supporting Flash Player in December 2020. Does Adobe really need to? What will be the good news? What will be the bad news? What is the lasting effect on the Internet?

Let's start with the good news. The good news is that EVERYBODY can uninstall it by January 2021 safely and we won't encounter an application requesting us to enable Flash Player. Our CPU will finally have more space. We will also be mostly using HTML5 and/or better softwares(yes, HTML5 is a software). Most of these softwares will be lightweight, or in other words, have less CPU usage.

Now we must go to the bad news. The bad news is that every single person or team will have to convert their apps made with Flash into HTML5 and/or better softwares. It's not that bad if you and/or your team didn't make much with Flash; however, it is TERRIBLE if you and/or your team made many apps with Flash, as it will take forever to convert those games into better softwares. If you don't then all that hard work is pretty much dead.

Now, why should Adobe make this decision? It is mainly because of 3 factors. The first factor is that the rise of better softwares is killing the use of Flash. The next is performance issues. The last is that bad publicity from pretty much EVERYWHERE and EVERYONE is killing the usage of it.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post and have a nice day!
