Therefore I don't miss flash, no more than 5 1/4 disks
Sometimes the good old games are surely missed (Digger/Sokoban..)
Nor these, there is equally in Html5 and other formats

One more that was never in flash format, I found it yesterday in Google Play, a classic of the 2000 and one of my favorites at the time.
Original, free, complete (more than 2000 maps) and without ads of any kind. A challenge to twist the neuronshttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=legatogames.lasertank
(OpenSource)
Also for PC

We can still use flash now by enabling the plugin. At the end of 2020 will we still be able to flash i Vivaldi after all the other browsers block it
-
Do you know if Chromium is just going to block the Flash plug-in where Vivaldi will have the possibility to work around the blocking? Or, is PPAPI behind dropped in Chromium so that there's no possibility of working around it?
If the former and Vivaldi doesn't want to work around it, will Vivaldi be built without PPAPI support then?

Can anyone confirm that Flash applications will be able to run in Vivaldi in January 2021?
Or, because Vivaldi is Chromium based, after December 2020 won't run? If so, would they run in old version of Vivaldi like 2.7 or 2.10?Thanks for your help.
-
Anyway, Flash is already very rarely used, mainly in advertising banners and the occasional page of old browser games.
-
Thanks for your answer @Gwen-Dragon
Understood. But will Flash players applications run in old versions of Vivaldi (for example 2.7 or 2.10) that currently support Flash, after December 2020?
Or will be restricted somehow by Adobe or Chromium based browsers?

And in quite a few old business systems for training, document searches, timesheet filling...

@mossman Business and government. Governments are notoriously slow updating tech. Like NOAA still animates radar time loops using Flash.
-
When no browser supports flash within a year, they will have no choice but to update the pages. Cell phones and tablets had never supported flash.

Again, not quite true. Classic Opera mobile supported flash, and I could be wrong but maybe classic Android browser did as well.
I know I was struggling to keep flash enabled on my first Android phone when Adobe suddenly removed support for flash on android as there were several of my common sites at the time that used it for things like weather maps and so on.
-
It may be that in old Android there is still a compatibility, but in view of if there is little security of a Smartphone, using Flash would mean adding another gap.
-
@Catweazle You'd need Android Ics 4.0 and a very very legacy Flash version
Puffin still has a sort of flash-in-cloud. -
I am in the HVAC business and use a flash based web appliance for connecting remotely to projects. Will it be possible to use a stand alone current Vivaldi version as a tool to only connect to my projects after Flash is dropped by Chrome? I will not be using this for any "surfing"
-
Hi,
I'd like to know if anyone knows about any change on the question and answers I got for this topic.
Can anyone from Vivaldi confirm that we will be able to run a Flash application in Vivaldi 2.10, 3.0 or other old version in January 2021? And that, besides the security issue, we won't have any other risk on that (for example something that deactivates Flash in Vivaldi 3.0)?
Thanks.
-
Thanks @Gwen-Dragon.
I duplicated my post as I didn't know where to reply. -
I still use flash but for the sole purpose of playing the flash games notably adventure and room escape games.I don't even know where to look for HTML5 alternatives.I am what you would call middle aged and i have a fondness for nostalgia and things "old".
But i know i must embrace change but some of us are stuck in our ways and are rooted in older things.The majority if not all the games on facebook are flash based so a major revamp will occur there no doubt.

@Priest72 , for Example
https://www.paisdelosjuegos.com.ar/juegos/html5
https://www.1001juegos.com/e/html5
https://html5games.com
etc.
Only search html5 games, WebGL games, Unity games, all this are the current online browsergames format for PC and mobile.
Flash is dead -
Flash is necessary to play radio content in the BBC Sounds site. I use this every day. It is the BBC's fault for continuing to use Flash but if Vivaldi stops allowing this use of Flash I will have to use a different browser.
