Assuming you're okay Flash being a closed product of Adobe (which was a huge problem for the web), it was also a bountiful garden of security issues, which Adobe didn't do a great job of managing.
- qwerty456127 6y agoI personally never cared about products being closed. In fact I still use Windows 7 and XP (albeit my main OS is Arch Linux). It (Flash, but Windows 7 and XP also) works (and is way more efficient than modern alternatives, both in runtime and in development) and that's Ok. There also are open-source implementation like Ruffle, Lightspark, Gnash etc (I never bothered to try any of them however). Even the original Adobe Flash player is not dead - it will[1] be maintained by Harman for years to come. Nevertheless, what I meant to say was nobody really forced or could force Google - AFAIK killing Flash was Google's and Apple's own initiative.
