Over time, we've seen helper apps evolve to become plugins, and more recently, have seen many of these plugin capabilities get incorporated into open web standards. But as open standards like HTML5, WebGL and WebAssembly have matured over the past several years, most now provide many of the capabilities and functionalities that plugins pioneered and have become a viable alternative for content on the web. And over time, as the web evolved, these new formats were adopted by the community, in some cases formed the basis for open standards, and became an essential part of the web. Where a format didn't exist, we invented one - such as with Flash and Shockwave. Where we've seen a need to push content and interactivity forward, we've innovated to meet those needs. In a blog post, the company wrote: "Adobe has long played a leadership role in advancing interactivity and creative content - from video, to games and more - on the web.
