 The plugin was introduced on January 1, 1996, by the company ''FutureWave'', but it was quickly renamed "Macromedia Flash Player" after Macromedia acquired the company in the fall of 1996. Unfortunately for Flash, Adobe announced that the plugin would be shut down on January 1, 2021, and all Flash content to be blocked on January 12, 2021. Right now, opening an SWF file usually leads the user externally to Adobe's "[https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html End of Life]" webpage.
