Replacement for Adobe Flash Player
Hi everyone,
As we know support for Adobe Flash Player already ended and it is for all browsers (including Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer). Take a look at Adobe Flash end of support on December 31, 2020 - Microsoft Lifecycle | Microsoft Docs
There are flash emulators where you could add into your website and run Flash Player but they have performance issue and are not recommended.
In case you are a web developer or you want to create nice websites, you could do it with modern web standards and users won't need to install any external extensions or plug-in.
I open this discussion to see what technology are you using as replacement for Flash Player?
- msekmfb1Iron ContributorAre you saying that you are allowed to select something other than HTML5?

- Apart from those that I mentioned above, there is Web Assembly and WebGL,
both supported in Edge.
WebGL is a browser API (application programing interface) that allows game developers to render 3D graphics on the GPU from within web browsers. This allows the creation of sophisticated games that would not be possible using the Flash platform.

Thank you for sharing.
Well, I also noticed some websites using type of Flash Player emulator which host Flash content on the web and play it for the end user. It is being used for old games which are still using Flash Player. Since converting Flash Player to HTML5 is not easy.
- HTML5, CSS3, JS, SVG, that's all needed.
