At the end of the year, Adobe will offer users to remove Flash Player

It became known that at the end of 2020, Adobe will offer users to remove the Flash Player, as on December 31 the program will reach the end of life cycle (EOL) stage. After that date, the company will not only stop the release of updates for Flash Player, but will also remove all links to download this product from the official website.
The company believes that removing links will help users avoid installing and using unsupported software. Starting next year, Flash-based content will be blocked from launching in browsers.
The reason for this decision is that, throughout its existence, Flash Player has been the target of attacks by hackers and malware creators. As Adobe will stop releasing updates next year, people who continue to use Flash Player could be targeted by hackers.
