Flash Used on 5% of All Websites, Down From 28.5% Seven Years Ago

Only 4.9 percent of today's websites utilize Flash code, a number that has plummeted from a 28.5 percent market share recorded at the start of 2011.

The number, courtesy of web technology survey site W3Techs, confirms Flash's decline, and a reason why Adobe has decided to retire the technology at the end of 2020.

[...] On the client side, browser makers are expected to remove Flash support from their products altogether by the end of 2020 —Flash's end-of-life date.

2020 can't come soon enough.

    I'm with TMB on flash. It was hell to make it work, and as soon as it was working, I couldn't wait to get rid of it. I suppose that a person who enjoys poking himself in the eye with a sharp stick might like flash. Do you still hang out on MySpace? Flash Freaks loved that hellhole, didn't they? That, and Geoshitties.

      Welcome to the world of Linux (or otherwise Android development), my friend.

        whoa wait

        i read he said the best flash is at mardi gras, and so ding yeah man I'm totally in agreement.

        then someone says "it was hell to make it work" in agreement with TMB

        dude so like me explain. when the prong go into the port, look at the flash. it'll all make sense. if you still have problems making it work, you need a pro to help--try finding some porn to get the general idea

          Your writing style has changed. You're sounding more like Kurt Vonnegut now. But he died...or so he would like them to beLIEve.

      That, and Geoshitties.

      Yeah! Geoshitties was so bad! So glad we have the modern internet with all those "15 things you didn't know about Coffee, #7 will blow you away!" and all that other clickbait. Those Geoshitties punks and their wild page experiments. What plebs! A page that doesn't load without 10mb Javascript Library?
