Some people think of it with a tear in their eyes; others claim with relief that it\u2019s a natural necessity that had to come some time; the rest feel the excitement of looking for new solutions. The end of Adobe Flash Player planned on December 31, 2020, is already a certainty. It will bring digital publishers new, exciting challenges in their business functioning.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
