  The real simple solution is to use a web browser that keep supporting flash.
  Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) will probably have flash support for a few additional
  months while people scramble for a real replacement browser.

  >Adobe will stop distributing and updating Flash Player after December 31, 2020 (“EOL Date”)
  >Adobe will not issue Flash Player updates or security patches after the EOL Date. We recommend
  that all users uninstall Flash Player before the EOL date (see manual uninstall instructions for
  Windows and Mac users). Users will be prompted by Adobe to uninstall Flash Player on their
  machines later this year and Flash-based content will be blocked from running in Adobe Flash
  Player after the EOL Date.
  Getting a copy of Flash Player to actually run after that point will probably be quite difficult.

  In theory there's a number of different open-source Flash interpreters which could replace
  Adobe's. Unfortunately, most of them are dead. The best candidates right now are Ruffle and
  Lightspark, both of which still have a long way to go before they could be used as drop-in
  replacements.

  Firefox actually has an extension that plays Flash content in an HTML 5 player without having to

  No, Newgrounds has it's own dedicated player now. You install it, and when you visit an NG page
  with Flash on it, it will automatically open the SWF in the player. It's actually pretty nice,

  Unfortunately, that isn't going to happen. Flash is still going to be used as the basis for Adobe
  AIR, a format that works utilizing AS3 for Mobile and Desktop based vector graphics rendering, so
  that gives them the excuse to NEVER release it, which blows ass.
  The only way were going to get something like Flash is to somehow get HTML 5 Canvas to utilize
  vector based graphics, or create something similar to Flash under the GNU license.

  embedding flash into a browser is a gargantuan task. Firefox currently supports NPAPI for adobe
  flash only. They ended support for all other NPAPI back in 2017. PPAPI, the more secure, newer
  version of NPAPI was never implemented by the Firefox team because it would take them months an
  tons of investment in money and people to get it working.
  Unless we have a team of hundreds or thousands of people who are willing to invest months of
  their time, it's not happening.

  From "Top 10 misconceptions about Flash ":
  7) Flash isn't 'open'.
  FALSE: Adobe donated the ActionScript Virtual Machine to the Open Screen Project in 2008. There
  are 3rd party alternatives to the Flash authoring program and to Adobe's Flash Player (even Apple
  could make a Flash Player optimized for iPhone if they wanted to—they just don't want to).

  https://www.austincc.edu/ghervey/flash/Lesson5/Publishing4.html

  What really bothers me is that Adoodoo plans to ACTIVELY KILL Flash Player functionality
  post-EOL. This is virtually unheard of, and a BAD precedent. However, I'm pretty sure someone
  will come up with a hack to keep PPAPI and NPAPI functional moving forward. Hell, it may even be
  as simple as a firewall block so Player won't "phone home".

  Either way, this is still bad for /f/... if the vast majority of browsers in the wild can no
  longer play Flash, I fear it could wake a sleeping Hiro and cause the kaiju to bleachbit our
  board. That would be way uncool.
  At least there is always Flash Projector stand-alone, but make sure you get yours now, because
  Adoughboy said they're removing access to it at EOL and will be actively doing seek-and-destroy
  on further 3rd-party distribution.

  I'm probably the only autist that does this, but I actually never saved any flash, ever. Just
  like how I don't take any photos in real life it's my way to remember things and know that they
  mean something to me by recalling them from memory. Have them pop up in my mind without having
  anything to remind me of them. It gives me shivers when I see a flash I haven't seen in 3 years
  posted here, for example.
  Ultimately, I'm regretting it. It's not just about memory but the fact that some works get lost
  over time. Even if it's the internet there might be things you'll never come across ever again.
  There are a couple of flashes I remember only seeing once, and now that I don't remember their
  names (some being japanese filenames) it makes me feel sad to have not saved anything from here,
  even if /f/ is the only board I ever truly loved.
  I'm kind of hoping that if /f/ really goes down, that people will share their swf collections.
