Adobe flash was shut down for security concerns, but why didn’t they just patch the security flaws?
In: Technology
The idea of having a plugin that could run a wide variety of code on the client’s device was inherently problematic. Trying to preemptively patch any potential security flaws before they were discovered was a futile effort.
In addition, the needs for such plugins decreased. Modern web standards allow nearly all of what Flash could do in a modern way without the issues the Flash plugin faced.
