Thank you for putting all of this information together! It's obscene how coordinated of an effort there has been to forcibly block the masses from using a harmless piece of software that they legally downloaded on their computer. My computer, my rules! This "nanny state" crud is exactly why I've been avoiding smartphones, and now it's happening on PCs. Sad!

Part two (the list of browsers and whether they will still continue to support Flash) is an excellent summary of who cares about people's personal freedom, and who cares about trampling them underfoot.

The last time I enabled Flash Player for anything was a Homestuck porno in 2016. It wasn’t worth it. This is to say a mention of Blue Maxima’s Flashpoint is worthwhile due to its 200,000-strong archive of Flash games and animation, including the ever-important ZONE parodies, and I believe it’s a practial application for the vast majority of user needs for the vast majority of content, albeit absent some obscure ones.

Koshka, it was precisely that paternalistic attitude of Adobe and other software companies that drove me to detail at length the available methods to defeat the Flash Player time bomb. In regards to browsers, the pattern seems to be that the various Firefox forks (e.g. Pale Moon and Waterfox) have the best, most Flash-friendly attitude; Internet Explorer 11, of course, is also an option.

Froge, I cannot imagine having gone over four years without viewing a single Flash in the Web browser! And, yes, Flashpoint is a very valuable and commendable project, but for any missing content, you'll have to simply view it the correct, old-fashioned way: in the Web browser with the Flash Player plug-in, like how we all did back in the 2000s.

In all verity, I don't recall that I viewed any Flash content (unrelated to YouTube anteceding their transition) since 2008.

Since 2008? Robert, how could you... :'(
