Because of performance and security reasons. So for more information see the official Adobe Blog website about <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.adobe.com\/adobe-flash-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the future of Adobe Flash<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adobe Flash Player, once a cornerstone of multimedia content on the web, has faced its inevitable demise in the latest wave of web technology. The decision to deprecate Flash Player was driven by a shift towards more secure, efficient, and open standards. As of late, major web browsers and technology platforms have withdrawn support for Flash, marking the end of an era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the primary reasons for Flash Player&#8217;s deprecation is its susceptibility to security vulnerabilities. Over the years, Flash became notorious for being a target of cyberattacks, prompting concerns about user data and system integrity. The rise of alternative, more secure technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript contributed to the decline of Flash. These newer standards offer better performance, improved accessibility, and native support across a wide range of devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deprecation of Adobe Flash Player represents a positive step forward for the web ecosystem. It encourages developers to adopt modern, standardized technologies that enhance the user experience while prioritizing security and stability. Although Flash played a pivotal role in shaping the early web, its retirement symbolizes the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of the digital landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"support-you-tube-embedded-and-more-embedded-players\">Support YouTube embedded and more Embedded players<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Default supports the Turn Off the Lights browser extension for the following video websites when you dim the web page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/vimeo.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.dailymotion.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vevo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/vevo.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vk.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/vk.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/myspace.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/myspace.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hulu.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.hulu.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blip.tv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/blip.tv<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitch.tv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/twitch.tv<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/myvideo.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/myvideo.de<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/espn.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/espn.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nfl.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/nfl.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/aol.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/aol.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/livestream.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/livestream.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/crunchyroll.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/crunchyroll.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ted.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/ted.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/metatube.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/metatube.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sidereel.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/sidereel.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/rutube.ru\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/rutube.ru<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veoh.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.veoh.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vine.co\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/vine.co<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/break.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/break.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pcworld.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/pcworld.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cntv.cn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/cntv.cn<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/xunlei.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/xunlei.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sohu.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/sohu.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iqiyi.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.iqiyi.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/douban.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/douban.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/m1905.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/m1905.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/qq.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/qq.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youku.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youku.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If it can not detect the video player container well, therefore enable the &#8220;Flash Detection&#8221; feature in the Turn Off the Lights Options page &#8211; Advanced Options &#8211; Flash Detection.
