One of my favourites was The Impossible Quiz, which was basically peak Flash game. There are TONS of cool games made with Flash. My favourite site was always Orisinal : Morning Sunshine… Orisinal : Morning Sunshine Using something like Javascript is so much easier than messing around with Actionscript. The handful of times I dabbled in it for super simple things was just… awful. There were multiple huge vulnerabilities that needed to be removed over the yearsĪnd, honestly, Actionscript, the scripting language that was tied to Flash, was the worst. Something about Flash is just weird, and it constantly needed patching.

Adobe has had to put out SO MANY updates to try and fix Flash and its myriad of vulnerabilities. The reason why though is somewhat justified.įlash is old. Of course, most people tend to leave things to the last minute. They gave us three years to convert things and make alternatives. In fact, Adobe announced the end of Flash back in 2017. And, of course, if you have Adobe Flash Player installed, it’ll tell you that Adobe Flash is dead, and recommend you uninstall immediately. There are archiving efforts to try and save as much as possible, but for the average person browsing the web, access will be somewhat trickier than for normal websites. I mean, they’ll still be accessible, but browsers aren’t going to let them play, and you’re going to have to click and allow pretty much anything Flash- or Shockwave- based. All of that is going away.Īll these websites will no longer… work.

Even rather normal websites sometimes used Flash, as it was a somewhat easy way of making slideshows before more modern tech came about.

Websites filled with Flash games were pretty common.

Despite being a proprietary product, Adobe Flash allowed you to build cool, animated and interactive sites and games somewhat easily. But in the earlier times of the internet, most notably in the late 2000s, Flash websites and Flash games were everywhere. Now, in the modern era, Adobe Flash is hardly used. All things considered, Adobe Flash was dying out anyway, but this is the final nail in the coffin. They will ask you to either uninstall Adobe Flash, or check you have the latest version. If you still have Adobe Flash Player installed, Adobe will pester you about it. This means that it will no longer be updated, and browsers will no longer play it or automatically run it. Adobe Flash has reached the ‘end of its life’.
