Adobe Flash, which in recent decades has boosted content published on the Internet, will soon cease to exist. In the past few years, its reputation has been seriously tarnished because of the numerous reports of failures in system security and poor performance.

Complete disappearance of flash will bring benefits, which improve safety of the system and efficiency of computers. Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets with iOS or Android, have long been able to successfully work without this technology to the benefit of themselves. The end seems to be really close.
