> I'm somewhat surprised nobody has packaged up an old version and wrapped it with "only run flash for these urls" and "don't update the ppapi plugin" type functionality. All the pieces seem to be available: https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7084871?hl=en https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7084871?hl=en This is likely to be of minimal use, since browsers will soon be removing Flash support entirely. Firefox in particular is carrying a significant amount of code to shim gtk2 in a gtk3 program.

    Ppapi plugins are supposed to be supported through June of 2022 in Chrome.

But you can run Flash files outside of a browser. At least, you used to be able to. It’s been a long time since I last did that.
