Named the exact date of "death" Flash
How many times he was buried - it does not count. However, the news, sounded from the "mouth" of the developers themselves, is truly worthy of attention. I propose to read one interesting post that appeared recently on the blog of Khronos Group - the eternal rival of Flash. It seems that on the confrontation of the two technologies put a fat point.

July 25, 2017 Adobe Systems declared 2020 the end of the Flash Player “life”. At the same time, the company did not stint on the praise in the direction of a competitor. WebGL has been named the successor of Flash, as well as an open and free API, which has been widely distributed on the Internet.

... we will stop updating and distributing Flash Player at the end of 2020 and push developers to transfer existing Flash content to these new open formats. "
According to Adobe, WebGL technology is the clear successor to two-dimensional interactive Flash graphics, which is complemented by high-quality 3D GPU-enabled graphics. This will open a new era of visualization, games and virtual reality on the Internet.
While Flash features are realized by plug-in connection, WebGL is supported directly by browsers. This provides greater security and convenience, does not require downloading a separate plug-in and its updates.
In short, WebGL Khronos offers 2D and 3D graphics in a browser for your phone or desktop computer. The Khronos team created the WebGL technology, which allows GPU and web browser developers to work together. We are pleased to be recognized as a leader in the evolution of interactive graphics.
