Adobe flash was shut down for security concerns, but why didn’t they just patch the security flaws?
In: Technology
Originally Flash filled the need for interactive graphical web applications that web browsers couldn’t do on their own.
Over time, web browsers got more features like Canvas which filled the same needs that Flash did and more, plus the added benefit that those features came built into your browser instead of needing a 3rd party add-on.
They probably *could* *have* patched Flash, but by that point more and more security flaws were popping up, and since there wasn’t really a need for it anymore, it was just better to phase it out.
