# Adobe Flash settings
Adobe Flash Player still has a significant presence on the internet, such as digital ads. However, open standards, such as HTML5, provide many of the capabilities and functionalities becoming an alternative for content on the web. With Adobe no longer supporting Flash after 2020, Microsoft has started to phase out Flash from Microsoft Edge by adding the [Configure the Adobe Flash Click-to-Run setting](#configure-the-adobe-flash-click-to-run-setting) group policy giving you a way to control the list of websites that have permission to run Adobe Flash content.
For more details on Microsofts plan for phasing out Flash from Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer, see [The End of an Era — Next Steps for Adobe Flash]( https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2017/07/25/flash-on-windows-timeline/#3Bcc3QjRw0l7XsZ4.97) (blog article).

Currently, Microsoft Edge allows users to add or personalize, and uninstall extensions. In the Windows 10, version 1809, you can configure Microsoft Edge to prevent users from uninstalling extensions. You can also configure Microsoft Edge not to allow sideloading of extensions, which does not prevent sideloading using Add-AppxPackage via PowerShell.
