Adobe Flash, one of the most controversial elements of the web, will be phased out by 2020, Adobe said Tuesday. Browser makers, including Microsoft and Google, simultaneously announced plans for a gradual phaseout over the next few years.

It should have been phased out before even 2010, why has it taken this long? There's just 1 nonstop security update after another risking your entire computer being taken over and it gets slower with every single update to the point where by 2020 we'll all probably need NASA supercomputers to get it working in its final days if it isn't still around for eternity.

the real reason is Flash crashing your browser so they will remove it so you guys can keeping browsing the internet without crashing

Flash devours memory and CPU, I hate it. I'm too lazy to check to see if there's ever been an alternative.
