However, just like with other pieces of hardware that need old versions of Java, it's perfectly possible to keep an old version of Flash and a browser around inside something like VirtualBox. Tom On 14/08/17 14:10, Josh Tynjala wrote: Browsers are definitely planning to remove all support fo

I agree w/ Josh's fear of security problems coming from Flash. I wonder if a different sandboxing model for plugins would prevent security issues? However, beyond that I'd encourage the effort. I think it's a neat idea that sounds like a big challenge and wish you best of luck with that.

It's best to assume that Adobe is no longer going to provide security updates for Flash Player in 2020. Do not fork any web browsers to try to continue supporting Flash Player or other plugins. You will put the security of your users at great risk. It's not worth it. The age of browser plugins, an

Microsoft, Google and Firefox have all explicitly disabled FP in the browser and then faced backlash from users and then they reenabled it. Remember Microsoft's exclusion list?

For legacy applications or archival purposes, you'll probably want to keep an installer for the Flash Player and/or older browsers. So they can be reset up on an old machine, or in a VM. Browsers, for the most part, have already shut down their plugin APIs. On 8/14/2017 8:26 AM, Clint M wro

Let's say Adobe releases final version of flash player version 35 for instance, by end of 2019, without further maintenance or development of the plugin. Will this version continue to stay forever, whether or not users want to use it or is it that flash player will be blocked by browsers themselves

Agree, WebAssembly could be a game changer About AIR. Adobe AIR is not affected, but we need to wait until they show us it's own Flash Player Runtime roadmap, What I expect to see there is they support Flash in AIR and they only wants to remove Flash from the browser. That would be the best optio

I think it would be great if the flex compiler could generate wasm ( webassembly.org) binary format output (a W3C standard). That way, we could benefit from keeping our existing code base and still target the browser and other web targets like electron. On 26 July 2017 at 12:41, Joel Tan wrote:

The announcements don't specifically call out Adobe AIR -- but reading through the lines I'm assuming that AIR will be End of Life'd at the same time, since it is built on the same runtime as the Flash Player. Alex, do you know if that is the case? -Nick On Tue, Jul 25, 2017 at 10:02 PM, Sebasti

Hi Nick, Thanks for the notice! Why so ever, Adobe bought Macromedia ;) After Silverlight (XAML) … possibly JavaFx still remains for a while. Also hoped that there would be an open source FlashPlayer one day, but, it seems I was mistaken. Cheers, Sebastian On Jul 25, 2017, at 10:02 PM, Nicholas
