We are at a point where fewer and fewer users and professionals have Adobe Flash Player installed on their Mac or PC, but it is true that some of them need it for work. In soy de Mac We have been advising against the use of Adobe Flash Player for a long time due to problems related to its security and now Adobe itself officially announces its end in 2020.
We believe that this end should be anticipated a bit and all those who continue to use this Flash plugin switch to HTML5, WebGL and WebAssembly formats as soon as possible, as well indicated even in the same official statement from Adobe.
The removal of Flash and Flash Player should not affect us since from macOS Sierra and Safari 10 Apple disabled Adobe Flash by default to focus on HTML 5 plus Flash has never been available on iOS devices. Google's Chrome browser also put Flash aside in the middle of last year and this is a clear signal for all of us to remove Flash from our computers as soon as possible.
The official statement released by Adobe it says very clearly that this ends:
We will stop updating and distributing Flash Player in late 2020 and encourage content creators to migrate any existing Flash content to these new formats. The end of development will be done with the help of Adobe partners, including Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla.
Undoubtedly this is something that today should not be news and is that we We have been discouraging Adobe Flash Player for a long time, due to the security problems it has. In addition, the elimination of Adobe Flash Player from our Macs does not prevent the navigation or use of most of the web pages that we have available today and with its elimination we will be further from being infected by some malware or other security risks.
