What does this mean, and will it affect my internet activity in any way, please?

Unlikely to have much effect.
Very few sites use Flash these days.

Re: Adobe flash Player
 

Flash is an abomination that uses a ton of resources and makes websites more difficult to access for visually impaired users. I don’t think anyone will miss it.

Re: Adobe flash Player
 

There are still many sites that use it for mindless games.

Happy to hear there is nothing to worry about, thank you for your replies.:)

Yes and I hope they cant affect me on Win98se!!!!

I have tried to find an email address for adobe but of course you cant find one :mad: (I wanna tell them what I think)

Re: Adobe flash Player
 

Flash on that version of Windows hasn't been updated for 10 years, so I wouldn't think the kill switch is in there either.

Dude you need to be realistic you can't expect all software to be supported forever, I'm afraid it's you that needs to move with the times and change.

What do ya mean buddy,willingly give up flash and other fun stuff I like to do??

Well when I first read the announcement by them weeks ago they made it sound like they were gonna stop it from working ON ALL PLATFORMS and it majorly pissed me off!!

They are trying to remove all fun aspects of using a computer it seems!!

Re: Adobe flash Player
 

No, they're actually realising that Flash is a horrible piece of software and everyone has moved on to much better alternatives. You just need to move on and start living in the modern era because soon you'll barely be able to use the internet due to using such outdated software.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Re: Adobe flash Player
 

I very reluctantly moved from a totally stable Vista PC to a new one running Win10.

Vista just made things so difficult as sites refused to open, software was unable to be updated, and some software suddenly refused to run at all.

A few tweaks with Classic Shell, and Win10 now looks and acts like Vista (and is a lot more user-friendly in that mode). There are a few Win10 oddities that linger, but I rarely use them anyway. And Microsoft dumping Edge on my machine was met with my deleting all icons for it (it appears to be stuck to the PC like superglue).

And, after using the flaky Firefox for a while, I returned to Opera which flies on Win10.

Re: Adobe flash Player
 

You should try Vivaldi or Edge Chromium they're both far better than the Chinese owned Opera. Vivaldi is from the original creators of Opera.

Re: Adobe flash Player
 

Brave is also a good one too. My main is Vivaldi though on laptop and my phone.

Re: Adobe flash Player
 

Lastpass doesn't worked with Vivaldi on Android which bugs me, so I'm using Edge which works well.
