A few examples of Adobe Flash’s use today are websites that have not been updated in many years, classic websites that hold nostalgic value and games such as many online games.

Although the use of Flash has become very limited across the Internet there are still corners of the web that rely on it. One of the biggest blow to Flash was announced recently when Google made the announcement that it will soon stop indexing Flash content on websites and standalone SWF files will not appear in its search results. Perhaps the biggest factor was that Adobe stopped updating it as frequently as they were required and far superior standards became the norm. Slowly the death of Flash started when modern devices like the iPhone didn’t support it.Īpple’s Steve Jobs even published his famous Thoughts On Flash write up criticising Flash’s performance. Even popular websites like YouTube used to require Adobe Flash to work. Most browser based games and interactive media heavy sites relied on Flash Player. If you grew up in 2000s, then you would know how big Adobe Flash Player used to be.
