Quite some years ago (at least 7 years ago), I installed the FlashBlock
extension in my SeaMonkey.  I set the default to enable FlashBlock.
After Adobe announced the demise of Flash, I paid attention to whether
or not I disabled the extension.

The last Web site using Flash that I visited was the BBC news site, for
which I had to disable FlashBlock.  Sometime in the second half of 2020,
however, I was able to view BBC videos by enabling HTML5 Media (normally
disabled in my configuration) without disabling FlashBlock.  Thereafter,
I did not need to disable FlashBlock, which means I did not need Flash.

I removed Flash from my configuration on that horrible day: 6 January
2021.  I then found many instances of Windows registry entries for Flash
that did not get removed.  I manually removed many of them, but I left
several because I was not sure if they were indeed merely for Flash.  A
week later, I do not miss Flash.
