This updated guide examines Apple Announced That It Will Stop Supporting Flash in Safari and organizes the essential facts, background, and practical takeaways in clear American English.

During his lifetime, legendary CEO Steve Jobs repeatedly criticized Flash as the cause of many bad security holes, along with a series of compatibility issues that made computers inoperable. Smooth operation, too much memory usage, too proprietary, too low adaptability for a touch platform instead of mouse clicks. In fact, Apple is one of the pioneering technology companies in the campaign to say no to Flash, starting from refusing to support Adobe's multimedia products (Flash) on the iPhone.

To speed up the 'purge' Flash campaign, Apple has just announced to stop supporting Flash completely starting from the latest test build of Safari browser, meaning that when the next Safari version is released Flash will no longer be able to run on this browser platform.

This is not a surprise to many people because Adobe has pledged to officially kill Flash by the end of 2020. After this information was released, major browser platforms such as Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome or Firefox immediately has a specific plan to gradually move users to use more advanced technologies, such as HTML5.

Apple's announcement to stop supporting Flash on Safari is simply an affirmation of the end of the Flash era in the Internet world. The disappearance of Flash is something that should have happened long ago. Without it, the internet world will become smoother, faster, and more secure.
