    Flash Player has reached it's End Of Life, and is no longer available for download. We strongly advise against finding old Flash Player versions from third-party sites, as they could contain malware.


    Safari, Chrome and Firefox have all dropped support for browser plug-ins at this point. IE and Edge will follow suit soon. It's difficult to find a current browser that will run Flash at this point. It's time to move on.


    See the original announcement from 2017 for background and links to corresponding browser roadmaps:

    Here's the enterprise FAQ, which has some options for organizations that have legacy Flash dependencies that they need to keep running:

    We strongly encourage you to uninstall Flash Player at this point. For your convenience, links to the uninstallers follow.

    Thanks for the reply from the Adobe Employee.  You say "it is time to move on".  I would like to know, move on to what?  If I buy the latest version of Adobe will it include a new program that will allow me to view websites that currently use a flash player or do i have to wait until the website updates their webage to something else?

      The websites need to update their pages. There isn't a new program that allows viewing items that needed Flash Player. Most websites have long ago moved to HTML5, which is the standard for doing most of the things that Flash used to be used for.

        Facebook made several announcements to their developer community to migrate their games to some other technology.  Some did, some didn't.
