Justin,
Our experience shows Chrome asking to activate flash by right clicking to
load the application, but that is not much of a deterrence. In our case we
have a standard html file embedding the swf app and not loading the swf
directly. It might have something to do with how prominent or given size
dedicated to the swf. I think the majority of support will drop in January,
mostly based on receiving a new update to your browsers. However, Microsoft
will have a bit longer term support [1] mostly directed at enterprise users.

Hi,
I notice on [1] it states this:
In December, Chrome 55 will make HTML5 the default experience, except for sites
which only support Flash
Which I assume means a URL ending .swf?
And on [2] it states:
Since Adobe is no longer supporting Flash Player after the EOL Date, Adobe will
block Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021 to
help secure users’ systems.
If this is correct? If so that give a very limited window for "sites which only
support Flash” to work.
Does anyone know anything different?
Thanks,
Justin
