There's plenty of new browser games being made, but both developer and user interest in mini-games has shifted to native mobile apps, which wasn't really a thing in Flash's heyday.

Two of my favourite flash games (late era flash)

- Abobo's Big Adventure (abobosbigadventure.com)

- Super mario bros crossover (http://supermariobroscrossover.com/)

Many phone games are (or were) browser games at heart. Just an app that served a webpage.

The fact that they weren't very imaginative or fun or free is what the hyperconnected mobile web brought us.

To be fair, the absolute bulk of browser-based Flash games weren't imaginitive or fun either (and I can assure you, would probably not have been free if drop-in-and-use ad plugins for Flash had been around, if the ads that framed those apps can be taken as any indication ;) ).
