What does this sign \ adobe player mean?

It was displayed to me today on my laptop and I don't know exactly what that means.

Info: I installed Adobe Flash at the end of December.

I'm happy about every single explanation.

Flash is dead as of today. Kill switch.

The flash player is eol, so it is no longer supported. Therefore, some videos can no longer be played if the website provider does not change this.

Switch browser.

This is the symbol of the flash player and should tell you that you should uninstall it because there are no more updates for it.

Totally stupid because a lot of streaming services and old websites, which are quite usable, then no longer work.

Until today none of these update-younger could say exactly where flash should be unsafe… Well. It's up to you.

Wrong, there are no more updates for flash, but this does not affect its functionality.

I tried to uninstall but I can't do it, is it so bad if I can't uninstall it?

No not at all. With me he stays on it too. As I said, if you uninstall it, some older - pages (or page elements) will no longer work. If you leave it on, nothing will happen.

Okay thank you very much.

"After the end of support, Adobe has been blocking the execution of Flash content in Flash Player since January 12, 2021. Instead of the Flash content, there's only a Flash logo with a blue circle and a white" i "to be seen."

and now think again about your "wrong" and the statement about "functionality (?!) not influenced"

Again unfounded statements… But keep calm with your opinion…

"Haltlos": D. Everyone can look in the inspector to see if it is a flash player.

Nope.
"Adobe Flash installations have a system-time-controlled" kill switch "that blocks functioning as of January 12th 2021

This can already be observed by setting a client's time ahead to a later date
