I haven't had Flash installed in 4+ years. Youtube dropped Flash for HTML5 as the default 6 years ago. So I think you are having a different issue.
Last time I used a flash-based website was probably at least 7 years ago. OP, what are you talking about?
I dunno, whatever sites switched to about five years ago.
The last holdout was the investment section of Mint.com. I think that finally moved to newer web technology a year or two ago. I removed Flash Player from my system long before that (maybe 7-8 years ago) so I relied on other ways to track investments instead of Mint.com's Flash-based content. (Mint.com is exceptionally bad at handling bond investments.)
Apart from that I can't think of a single other site that required Flash that I've visited in the past five years.

My employer, the federal government, still has plenty of Flash content (among other ancient things) on internal websites. We use Internet Explorer.
I remember that there used to be an iOS browser that translated Flash content so it would play - possibly Opera? That of course died off when Apple decided competing browser engines were no longer welcome, but perhaps the idea could be implemented on other platforms?
