- The Flash player that helps play multimedia content on web browsers has stopped working on most browsers. All Flash content will be blocked from 12 January. The industry has moved on to a new standard – HTML5.With lakhs of Flash-based games unplayable on user desktops, Indian ingenuity can be counted on to offer a fix.
