Adobe has stopped supporting her famous "flash" program for media

Adobe Flash Player, the additional component of the browser that brought rich and interactive animation to the early internet, has reached the end of its life officially with the expiry of the past year 2020.

Flash was released in 1996, and was one of the most common ways to broadcast videos and online games.

But he was suffering from security problems, and he failed to move to the era of smartphones.

Adobe will no longer provide safety updates for the program, and urged users to uninstall it.

The company will also stop playing videos and animation via the program completely, as of January 12.

Why was the flash common?

When a flash was released for the first time, the majority of users were connected to the Internet via the landline line, and this connection was very slow according to today's standards.

But the flash program allowed web designers and animation to provide exciting content, which can be downloaded relatively quickly.

What happened?

Flash meant more than just animation, it also allows websites like YouTube to broadcast high -quality videos.

By 2009, Adobe said that the flash program had been installed on 99 percent of the internet -connected office computers.

But by that time, the world was turning towards mobile phones, and Adobe was slow to keep pace with this shift.

In April of 2010, Steve Jobs, President of Apple, wrote a violent open letter, entitled "Ideas on Flash", in which he showed the reason why Apple did not allow the operation of a flash program on its iPhone and iPad devices..

Jobs saw that a flash was slow to a degree that does not allow it to be used on a touch screen, and it cannot be relied upon, and it poses a security threat and draining the battery life.

He said it can instead broadcast videos and animation, using HTML5 and other open technologies, which makes a flash in excess of the need on a smartphone or tablet.

But the Internet continued to develop.The major brands such as Facebook, Netflix, and YouTube were already broadcast videos to smartphones without flash, and in November 2011, Adobe ended the development of a flash device flash program.

The company continued to produce a flash program for desktop computers, but it suffered from multiple security defects.

In 2015, Apple has disabled the flash program in its Safari web browser, and the Google Chrome browser began banning some parts of the flash content.

In July of 2017, Adobe announced that it would stop Flash in 2020.
