I want to still play flash games after 2020, and i don't want them to stop working, Flash games are a important part of internet history and they are fun, will flash still work after 2020? Is there a workaround to continue use flash?

Adobe will no longer maintain flash. But it can still be used as long as the browser can use it. But once the 'powers that be' remove access to the plugin, bye, bye flash.

Hello FirefoxUser2029692 ,

Unfortunately, the answer is "No" .....

There are still sites (mainly games sites) that still use Flash; users will have to contact those sites and ask them to make sure to make the switch from Flash to HTML before the end of the year. Adobe (the maker of Flash) announced years ago already that it would be the en-of-life for Flash by the end of 2020, so sites have had ample time (and still have sometime) to make the switch. If they don't, nobody will be able to use their site anymore and it will be their loss.

In case you're not sure that the site you use will make the switch in time: please contact them and tell them to hurry up (or else ....).
