Many websites that we access make use of Adobe Flash Player to correctly reproduce its content and that is that Adobe Flash has been present for a long time in the entire development world, but gradually lost ground to HTML5 and much more even with all the security threats and vulnerabilities that have been discovered today..

At the development level, the majority currently prefer HTML5 thanks to its integration as:

HTML
It is the semantic modeling language which gives us the possibility to model the information obtained.
JScript
It is the programming language designed to add interactivity.
CSS
It is the language that provides styles to the graphic design of HTML focusing on aesthetics and visual ability.

Thanks to these advances, it has been possible to catapult HTLML5 as the best solution, but we still have access to many sites that use Adobe Flash Player and therefore we must know how to enable it and update it in Windows 10 to get the maximum benefit from itself.

As a point to consider, the Adobe development group is restructuring Adobe Flash Player to offer a competitive product and we will see this result between 2019 and 2020..
