After years of disuse and no longer supported by most browsers, Flash will disappear at the end of next month. The truth is that this animation system has been critical to the evolution of the internet. Now all animations will be preserved thanks to the Internet Archive, who will collect all Flash-based games and animations, or at least most.
The reality is that Flash disappears because of his infinite problems. The performance of this technology left a lot to be desired, generating a huge load. Furthermore, Flash was worse than a sieve, as it was full of vulnerabilities, creating risks for users. All this has led to their disappearance in favor of simpler and safer solutions.

Flash disappears, but not games and animations
Generating content based on Flash was quite simple, that's why animations and games based on it proliferated. The network quickly filled with this content, available on a multitude of web pages. Many of these websites no longer exist, among others, because their popularity had fallen dramatically. Those that have resisted have migrated their content to the much more modern HTML5 standard.
The Internet Archive, a non-profit platform, has worked to preserve all of this content. This is how they will be preserved from books to games, which have been so significant in the evolution of the internet.
We will have in Internet Archive a large database with Flash content of all kinds. Of course, we will have from games to Flash animations, which we can enjoy in our browsers. This has been achieved thanks to the use of the Ruffle emulator, which simulates the use of Flash. We can thus enjoy all this content in any web browser, without having to have the Adobe plugin installed. Note that Ruffle is in the development phase, so its operation still does not work properly.
👉 Access the Internet Archive library 👈
Currently the digital library has just over 800 elements between animations and games. Internet Archive will expand over time the amount of content, with the help of users.
Remember that Adobe will stop supporting Flash as of January 1, 2021. The company will stop releasing updates, whether optimization or security. If someone continues to use it, they will be exposed to the hypothetical vulnerabilities that may appear. Chrome, Edge, and Firefox no longer support Flash and Microsoft is removing all references.
