Is there a reason to uninstall Adobe Flash Player before Dec31, 2020 ?

Is the Adobe support for Adobe Flash Player going away at the end of 2020? Does it matter?

thank you

Only if you have a compelling reason to use it.

Yes it matters...Adobe states:

"After the EOL Date, Adobe does not intend to issue Flash Player updates or security patches. Therefore, Adobe will continue to prompt users to uninstall Flash Player and strongly recommends that all users immediately uninstall Flash Player.

To help secure users’ systems, Adobe will block Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021.

Major browser vendors will disable Flash Player from running after the EOL Date."

I would classify that as potential malware trap. Only use this link which explains how Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS.

the same thing happened to me 5 minutes ago and it said uninstall and had me put in my passcode when it said "installing adobe flash player"
