Adobe scheduled the end of support for its famous Flash software on December 31st, 2020, and today is the day. While Adobe won't start blocking Flash content until January 12th, major browsers will shut it all down tomorrow and Microsoft will block it in most versions of Windows. It's over.
Why did Flash shut down?
This was due to other apps flourishing in the open-source platforms such as HTML 5 and CSS 3. This added to the fall of the software. The main reason that could be cited is that the users demanded a more efficient standard to run on smartphones which Adobe Flash somehow failed to present.
