Adobe Flash

Adobe Flash was a multimedia software platform used for creating animations, games, and websites with interactive content. Popular for its ability to deliver rich graphics and sound, Flash allowed developers to create engaging experiences, especially in the early days of the internet. However, due to security vulnerabilities and the rise of more efficient technologies like HTML5, Flash became less popular. Adobe officially discontinued Flash Player in December 2020, marking the end of an era for online multimedia, as developers transitioned to more modern standards for better performance and security.
