Adobe Flash blocked in Chrome 76

When you now run version 76 of the Google Chrome browser you will see the message shown in the screen shot excerpt below.

If you click on Learn more at the right-hand side, you will see a 2017 message about the termination of Adobe Flash late next year.



 As explained in this article, Chrome now blocks Adobe Flash by default.  Flash support has been built into Chrome for a long while, thereby not requiring the user to download it separately from Adobe each time an urgent security update was needed.

Mozilla's Firefox browser will disable Flash starting in version 69.  I already have it disabled in my current version (68.0.1) of Firefox.

Based on what I see on the Adobe Flash Player download page, Flash is still supported in all versions of Windows, along with macOS and Linux. Web browsers other than Chrome may still support Flash, but the number of websites that still require Flash is rapidly shrinking.

If you still use a particular website for a service that is important to you and it will not run unless Flash is enabled, I recommend that you enable Flash only for that particular website.
