I just wish it was sooner, like 3 months instead of 3 years

Much like Windows XP, Gateway 3DS, and that one guy still using RXTools, there are still holdouts with Flash installed...my boyfriend unfortunately being one of them.

For me, they can kill flash right now. Don't use it anymore, since HTML5 became the standard for web multimedia.

Also, flash is the most used framework when we talk about absolutely undesired ads. I would like that those ads companies could be sued for ruining my browsing experience on my own devices, kinda like hacking if you ask me.

That's why I stopped visiting hackinformer.

Good but why 2020 ? Why not next year or two ? Excuse, I bet. Sighing!

I know it's dumb, but this is the one reason I keep Flash Player installed, even on my not-even-a-week-old Linux Mint 18.2 installation.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer security hole.

Welp, the funny thing is that I used to make Mario sprite movies on Flash Professional lol

Pff, in 2020, we'll be having HTML 6 already

Dr.Hacknik · Jul 28, 2017

HTML 5/5.1 Player is being implemented everywhere. Only issue is that People still use Flash to create online based games and such.

how will we play flash games!?!?!?!?!

RustInPeace · Jul 28, 2017

I feel like the 3 year countdown is to give porn sites time to change to HTML5. I think a year or so ago, there was a Firefox update that automatically disabled Flash and thus certain sites I go to a lot (ahem, tubes) didn't have a flash alternative. This gives me 3 years to play the flash game adaptation of The Room, something I barely played.

I remember when Android lost native flash and I felt that was so horrid...

RIP Isaac in browser...

Joom · Jul 28, 2017

For those of you that use Firefox you can install Shumway which will render Flash objects with HTML5.

Good riddance.
