Ruffle - Flash Emulator

Puts Flash back on the web where it belongs.

Ruffle - Flash Emulator Chrome Extension

Ruffle - Flash Emulator is a Chrome extension designed for seamless integration and easy usage. For pages with flash content, it auto-detects and converts the Flash content into a Ruffle player, 'polyfilling' it without need for any configuration. It also updates an older Ruffle to the latest version on websites with the extension installed. Built with Rust, it offers high security, avoiding historical Flash pitfalls. Open-sourced and volunteer maintained, contributions are welcome to help continue the preservation of internet history.

08.03.2025 сайт з програмою генеалогічне дерево, де залишила нотатки про рідних, сказав оновити Adobe Flash Player, інакше не відкриває зміст. Встановила Ruffle - Flash Emulator. Зміст відкрився, майже все працює. Дякую. Доречі, в мене встановлений антивірусник, котрий часто не рекомендує кудись заходити, щось відкривати. Наразі мовчить
