'Utilizing an in-development Flash emulator called Ruffle, we have added Flash support to the Internet Archive’s Emularity system, letting a subset of Flash items play in the browser as if you had a Flash plugin installed,' Jason Scott of IA wrote. Going forward, the Internet Archive plans to preserve some of the most popular animations, games, and videos that were made possible thanks to Flash Player. Regardless of these issues, Flash Player did define an entire era for internet users.

However, over the past several years, Flash Player has been responsible for tons of security issues.

Adobe acquired Flash in 2005 at a time when it was running on over 98% of all personal computers connected to the internet. Moving forward and saving some of the best memories powered by Adobe Flash Playerĭesigned in a time when there weren't enough industry standards, Flash enabled developers create video games and multimedia content that could be consumed by users running different devices and browsers. Some users have also started seeing alerts to uninstall Flash Player. Microsoft has already initiated the process to block it from almost all versions of its desktop operating systems, having recently released an update ( KB4577586) to remove the software. We are excited to help lead the next era of digital experiences. We are proud that Flash had a crucial role in evolving web content across animation, interactivity, audio, and video. We want to take a moment to thank all of our customers and developers who have used and created amazing Flash Player content over the last two decades. Today marks the final scheduled release of Flash Player for all regions outside of Mainland China.
