Anyone knows of a modern browser that still supports flash? I'm stuck having to use old browsers, which I'm not very happy about. Ruffle doesn't work the for game that I play (Crystal Saga).

Flash was shuttered due to being a constant, huge security risk. So no modern browsers support it and there aren't any plugins for it other than Ruffle.

  Web itself is a constant huge security risk - Playstations 3, 4 and 5 were all hacked through Webkit, for example. The reason to kill off Flash was just because Apple wanted it gone, and Adobe didn't want to make them angry.

I use flash occasionally to run some older code. I've been running this setup for a few years now on my Intel Mac because it won't work with Apple's new M chips. There are a couple of things you will need. First, download Firefox 84.0 here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/84.0/mac/en-US/ https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/84.0/mac/en-US/. Next, you need the Flash Player itself. Adobe, as far as I know, removed the links to download it and I don't have anywhere I would trust to download. After you have the Flash Player, install Firefox 84 and disable the auto-updates. Now install Flash and everything should work. Good luck!

No such thing as a modern browser that supports Flash. But BlueMaxima's Flashpoint is a great tool that lets you run old web games in Flash and other dead formats: https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/ https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/

  Thanks for the suggestion! I tried it, but it doesn't support playing MMO games, which Crystal Saga is, so I'll keep on searching. Don't get me wrong, the developers do provide us with a client, but you can get better performance using other browsers, which is always better.
