Hi all!

I hope this question isn't too basic. I use an iMac, and every now and then I get websites that advise me that I need to install Flashplayer... is there a quick fix to this that I'm overlooking?

At least you posted a couple of good links, so we forgive you. laugh.gif

Any idea if those Flash alternatives have the same same security issues as Adobe's?

Nope. First time I've heard about them. But one would assume not. Or?

I didn't follow what happened with flash much. But isn't it odd they killed their baby? Was the security issues so grave that they couldn't be fixed? Flash was a pest on the web for a few years, but apart from that I rather liked what could be done with it.

They SAY they are secure... I installed this for FF.
https://ruffle.rs/#downloads

It works for the flash animations I can find on the web, but I can't play my saved files. FF just wants to download them or open them in another application - that can't run them, obviously. I'll try to embed them in a HTML page and see if that helps. But maybe it needs to be over http?

Ah, there is a standalone Windows
version. I didn't read that table too closely. It works.
