Adobe officially discontinued support for its Flash Player on December 31, 2020, and will start blocking Flash content starting January 12, 2021. Adobe already announced its plan to end support for Flash in 2017.

The Adobe Flash Player was released in 1996 and was used for streaming videos and playing games, but showed security problems and failed to transition to smartphones.

Users from around the world are reporting problems with multiple Google-owned services. Among others YouTube, Gmail and the Google Calendar are unreachable to users.

According to first reports YouTube remains reachable if used in incognito mode or the user hasn't been logged in before.
