Chrome is dropping support imminently (at the end of the year). It's been showing a warning and date about it for quite a while (if you still have it active).

By "dropping support", they mean "it won't work, at all". Set the clock forward on your PC to January 12th, 2021, and try using it.

"Adobe will block Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021"

See the link in my previous reply below.

You've had to manually "Allow" it for a while, if a site needs it.

But it's really Adobe dropping support of it, who announced it in 2017.

They're ending it in January? Edge, Chrome and Chromium are set to drop support in january.

The warning says "Flash Player will no longer be supported after December 2020".

Right. They'll pull the plug with version 89 scheduled for January.

The plug is, I believe already pulled in a way. I set the clock forward to January 13th, and it won't render Flash.
