Not since they bailed on stage3d. That was the beginning of the end.

It used to be bundled with Chrome somehow so if you really needed it, you had it. Now I just don't use it. If something requires Flash then well, too bad for me.

Turner Classic Movies streams in Flash. Not sure how long that tech has been in use, I only started streaming it recently.

#6I wonder what the major use cases are for Flash Player these days?
I assume some of the 'Farm Ville' style web games are probably in Flash still these days.

#8> will be phased out by the end of 2020. At that point, Adobe will stop updating and distributing Flash.
Adobes stance on backwards compatibility in Flash has always been "Don't break the web". Where does this leave all the existing flash content that still exists around the web after 2020? As far as I know, those JS emulators are way to slow for most content.

#10What about Adobe Connect? They have been talking about moving to HTML5 for years, but nothing seems to happen. Then recently they announce that if you don't have Flash you can instead download an executable:

Could this be the end of AC, or will they pull something out of a hat at the last minute?
