The news of the day has undoubtedly been the fact that Adobe has announced that it will continue with Adobe Flash for Linux, Ubuntu included. This announcement surprises because Adobe has been withdrew the development of this technology for Linux and until 2017 it has only released serious security updates, but nothing more.
Now, although Adobe will not launch major changes in Flash for Linux, at least the changes that will be made on Mac OS or Windows, if there will be updates that will allow greater security as well as plugin performance improvements.
However, these updates and these future new versions of Adobe Flash will not be available for all browsers or at least not all web browsers will make use of it. Google has long since stopped its Linux browser from using the Adobe plugin and that means that Adobe Flash 23 does not reach Google Chrome, although yes to Mozilla Firefox, Ubuntu's default browser.
Adobe Flash will continue to exist and develop for Linux and Ubuntu albeit with minor changes
In the case of Ubuntu, users will have no problems since there is a plugin in the Ubuntu repositories that readapt the flash plugin to Google Chrome, so the problem will not exist, regardless of the web browser we use.
But for all this we will have to wait for currently there is only a beta version of Adobe Flash 23, the future version that is not yet stable and therefore is not suitable for use on stable computers, although it can be used to check if the new version of Adobe Flash is really worth it or should be followed with alternatives with Pepper Flash or HTML5, the true successor to Adobe Flash or so they say What do you think?
