R.I.P Adobe Flash Player

What is flash for and why is it shutting down

It’s an old technology used for rich web UI experience. But it had security vulnerabilities and now newer versions of HTML can do the same things Flash could do without having to install an extension in your browser.

Hackers exploited Flash's flaws to create malware

ok. but WHAT single flaw that hackers can exploit so easily

A combination of the flaws.

oh ok

NVM the first part I remember I'm so dumb

But still why it shut down

Something about HTML5 I think. I’m not exactly sure.

And maybe loss of use.
