Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash) is a discontinued cross-platform multimedia runtime used to embed animations, video, and interactive applications into web pages. It has reached the EOL on December 31st, 2020, and Flash content has been fully blocked displaying a static information icon on January 12th, 2021.

According to Adobe, Flash delivered over 75% of online video and the majority of casual gaming in 2010. It was installed on an estimated 99% of internet-connected desktop computers in that year and has been available for Android 2.2 mobile devices since version 10.1, although Flash for Android is no longer updated by Adobe in favor of HTML5 and native applications.

Versions

Google Chrome contains a special version of the Flash Player plugin targeting the Pepper API.

The final stable version of Flash Player for Windows and Mac is 32.0. (version history)

Adobe has annouunced the discontinuation of Flash on July 2017. Flash is no longer available on December 31st, 2020, about three and a half years after the announcement, and all Flash content has been blocked on July 12th, 2021. Third-party projects which emulate Flash are actively being developed, such as Ruffle.
