HTML5的好处之一是，它可以在网页上提供多媒体内容，而不需要用户安装和更新专用插件。

衰落与消亡

Apple was one of Flash's most vocal critics. The late Steve Jobs once wrote a public letter about its shortcomings, highlighting concerns about its reliability, security and performance.

苹果是Flash最强烈的批评者之一。已故苹果公司联合创始人史蒂夫•乔布斯曾经写过一封关于Flash缺陷的公开信，强调对其可靠性、安全性和性能的担忧。

The plug-in was never supported by Apple's iOS mobile devices.

这款插件也从未获得苹果iOS移动设备的支持。

Adobe's vice president of product development, Govind Balakrishnan, said the firm had chosen to end Flash because other technologies, such as HTML5, had "matured enough and are capable enough to provide viable alternatives to the Flash player."

Adobe的产品开发副总裁戈文德•巴拉克里钦南表示，公司已经选择关闭Flash，因为HTML5等其他技术“已经足够成熟，完全能够替代Flash播放器。”

He added: "Few technologies have had such a profound and positive impact in the internet era."

他补充说：“在互联网时代，很少有技术能产生如此深远而积极的影响。”

Apps developer Malcolm Barclay, who had worked on Flash in its early days, told the BBC: "It fulfilled its promise for a while but it never saw the mobile device revolution coming and ultimately that's what killed it."
