I know there's a lot of changes with support for HTML5 and so on, but I am really sad that flash is dying. Tons of animations and old web games I used to play growing up will be no longer playable or watchable anymore. Of course that options there *for now* but what happens in a few months when flash is no longer supported? Flash won't be an option anymore so will videos just use HTML5 (like migrate automatically) or will old content be on this site with no support to run things like older videos and/or games. I just tried to visit a older video today and it wouldn't play because it asked do I want to run flash. Maybe some of the newer stuff doesn't? But lots of the older stuff does for sure.

That said: how is newgrounds going to respond to this situation? I know there's TONS of content on here that still uses flash. It can serve as a decent alternative for Adobe Flash Player and can be used for running a variety of flash APIs on your device without any streaming interruptions.I just hopped on google chrome today and was greeted with a little message that said:įlash Player will no longer be supported after December 2020. The flash browser plugin Lightspark is written in C/C++ format. Adobe also will not issue security updates after December 2020. So there are no changes to Microsoft's general policy for Windows consumers regarding Flash Player, which has largely been replaced by open web standards like HTML5, WebGL and WebAssembly. With Flash support ending, it will disappear from popular web browsers and websites. Any versions that are older than KB4561600 (which was released in June 2020) will be blocked and no longer function on their own. To clarify, the Adobe Flash Player will be disabled by default as of January 2021.

What happens when Flash Player is no longer supported? Flash content, including audio and video, will no longer play back in any version of Chrome. As of 2021, Adobe has ended support for the Flash Player plugin.
