After Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari, now Firefox has also issued an "ultimatum" to Flash.

Mozilla officially announced today that it will be releasing Firefox 84 in December this year, and indicated that the release will completely remove support for Flash.

Regarding the Flash's elimination, its parent company, Adobe, announced two years ago that it would drop it, achieving retirement by the end of 2020 at the latest.

First up is Google Chrome, which has long banned the Flash plugin by default in the browser and continuously informs users that support for it will be discontinued at the end of the year.

Microsoft Edge's approach with the Chromium kernel enabled is also in line with the former, while Apple Safari has been consistently unfriendly to Flash, and its elimination will be even earlier.

Many early Internet users believed they were no strangers to Flash, including the early rise of Flash animation and web-based mini-games.

To this day, a lot of content on websites still requires a Flash plugin to be displayed.

Its own features such as insecurity, privacy leaks, and the inability to terminate process services are also always criticized.

Several Internet companies have now announced their stranglehold on Flash, and unsurprisingly at the end of this year, Flash will be completely abandoned in the history of the Internet.
