Hello Community,

after the last Steam Update i can not use the Adobe Flash Player in Steam Webbrowser anymore.

Here comes the problem ... some sites require flash player (doesn't work anymore) others use html5 instead but they crash every 2-3 minutes now.

Any serious solution? Thanks Guys!!!

I emailed gabe, and he forwarded my email to their Dev team. They said that because they update steam with Chromium (chrome) and chrome have updated their use of flash its just 'not going to work anymore sorry'

Thats right, they literally do not care. It pretty much kills steam browser. And for those saying 'use chrome as a non steam game' I have eyefinity which ruins the steam link view in a tv (3 screens squeezed into a 16:9 TV, think about it)

Gabe and Valve just dont care about us anymore.

For god's sake if they did this then why does the adobe flash player page say that it supports ALL chromium web browsers, steam included.
And I was able to play flash games in steam web browser yesterday, only to check today to find there is no flash player installed

Google is phasing out Flash, as, by the way, does Microsoft and even Adobe, the Flash company. Expect Flash support to disappear forever.

That can't happen. They don't have anything to replace it. Unity exists but none supports that anymore.

HTML5 does all that Flash does. There's litereally no capability of Flash that isn't present in modern web browsers natively.

Oh please you can't even run youtube without flash anymore. And if what you said was true, then why the ♥♥♥♥ do websites ask for flash when you try to run a game in steam web browser?

This is a lie, plain and simple. I am running YT right now in Edge with Flash disabled and just yesterday I watched a YT video from the Steam overlay. Without Flash.

In your case, my point stands: HTML5 can do everything Flash does. If the content creator in question doesn't want to use HMTL5, well, sucks. Still, Flash is being phased out and will disappear.

You do know that most of adobe's tools has atleast the tiniest bit of flash in it. If flash is gone, so is adobe. Also if it were gone completely, famous websites like newgrounds and similar would be gone aswell. People aren't gonna like that.

You do know that most of Adobe's tools don't run on the web, that is, as a browser plugin, but as actual installable programs so that doesn't matter at all as we're discussing Flash browser support here.
Example: The Java browser plugin has been abandoned by Oracle, Java as an app platform however lives on just fine. You need to understand technical aspects of things you discuss.

Flash is NEEDED. Millions of websited have content that DEPEND on flash. Newgrounds and similar would die out completely. Because no one wants to rebuild a website from scratch just because a used plug-in got abandoned and they need to switch to something else.

Why are you telling me? Tell Google, Adobe, Microsoft, the companies that are phasing out Flash.
