Adobe to kill off Flash in 2020

[Cyan]

I don't even have it installed on my computer.
I got rid of it when I got my new computer years ago, and html5 was enough for youtube, I don't need it. When I encounter a website asking to install flash, I just go away and find another compliant website

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

Heh, reflashed my Xperia U to ICS, first thing I did was visit objection.mrdictionary.net and z0r.de

Good old online games will stop working

You can download swf files and play them with flash player projector at least,as long as the old pages keep the files around.

I see nothing wrong with this decision.
...E-except for this...

altough plenty of 18+ websites do still use flash

But dont a million sites use it?

But dont a million sites use it?

Yes, for ruining my online experience on my own devices with totally undesired ads...

And yes again, there used to be some good SWF flash games... which as stated before, can be played with the SA-FlashPlayer (Standalone Player), at least as long as you can get the SWF file, something not that impossible as some might think. Unless you try on Miniclip... sadly never got a single working download from there.

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

Reason for that is that they obviously want to have some sort of migration period to HTML 5 although I feel that they probably don't need to considering the amount of HTML 5 content readily available on the web these days.

That said, I am so glad they're finally killing it off
