It's also true that it should be more future proof but I think the day when the average PC can't even run Adobe's 64-bit plugin is very distant. But having a virtualbox option for those that just want to view the occational old flash every now and then without jumping through hoops is not a bad idea. Not good for performance and wait times, I'd much rather be able to recommend a good browser that I know will be dependable after 2020. I sure wish Adobe open-source the display plugin now that they are abandoning it.Īppreciate the virtualbox suggestion. Leveraging privacy and usability, Waterfox enables users to add customizations and optimize their time on browser-based applications while protecting their online activity. But I get that that is way, way too much work for something they have now successfully pushed out of mainstream. TL DR: Waterfox delivers a balanced browsing experience for users to navigate the web with peace of mind. The swf file format specification is open, ActionScript 1/2/3 as well. The dream is for swf to be interpreted and rendered by the browser itself, just like how a browser reads and displays a jpg. Requirements There are minimum system requirements for running this browser. On mobile platforms, it seems that Waterfox was available on Android, but appears that development has since stalled. Removing all internet and disk access is preferrable to dropping flash completely, over 80% of all swfs ever created would still work. Waterfox is available on Windows, macOS, and specified Linux distros. Flash's insecurity is exaggerated and I'm of the opinion it sould have been sandboxed properly by browsers instead of having companies decide for us that we don't want it anymore.
