Support for Adobe Flash officially ended on December 31, 2020, effectively killing off the platform. What's more, Adobe itself will block Flash content from running in Flash Player after January 12, 2021, so you won't be able to use it at all.Īs time has gone on since that original announcement in 2017, more and more news have come out of support for Flash being dropped in different browsers. As previously announced, Flash Player will be supported through the end of the year, on December 31, but not after that. Today is the end of the line for Flash, as Adobe has released the last scheduled update for Adobe Flash Player today.
