Flash plugin

Flash plugin, also known as Adobe Flash Player plugin, is a software application developed by Adobe Systems. It is used to play multimedia content, such as videos and animations, in web browsers. The plugin was widely used in the past for displaying interactive and multimedia content on the web, but its usage has declined significantly in recent years due to security vulnerabilities and the emergence of alternative technologies such as HTML5, which can handle multimedia content without the need for a separate plugin. As a result, major web browsers have either disabled Flash by default or removed support for it altogether. Adobe officially discontinued support and distribution of Flash Player at the end of 2020, and it is recommended to uninstall the plugin due to security risks.
