Adobe announced its plans to stop supporting Flash at the end of 2020. And google announced that remove Flash completely from Chrome toward the end of 2020.
Still we are using magento1 and image upload depended on flash. if flash removed from chrome, how to upload images in magento 1?
- is all magento 1 version depended on flash? (currently using 1.9.4.4)
- is there any patch from magento for this issue?
- what are the impact on magento 1, if flash removed from browser?
- what is the solution for the image upload, if flash removed from browser?

this was resolved in SUPEE 8788 and 1.9.3 release
Core team switched to JS uploader for this reason.
