The once popular Adobe Flash Player, for instance, is as good as dead, but still there are many websites in the event industry which use the old technology. The plugin crashes regularly and constantly requires security updates. After all, security is the Achilles' heel of Flash.

Last year big browsers such as Safari, Chrome and Firefox have announced that they standardly block Flash. And now Adobe itself finally announced that the close down the technology in 2020.
