ANY way around Adobe blocking Flash from working?

Post by Darkstar One »

There is one particular website that is much easier to access using Flash, that I use all the time.

Is there ANY way to get around Adobe's blocking Flash from functioning?

all the web browsers are blocking it, but you can install a Flash emulator:

I thought it was earlier than that. They'd been promoting that they would for several years now.

Adobe declared end of life last week but my users are reporting they can still use it by unblocking it with their browser. I'm a bit annoyed at our partners that still use flash based UI. Of course, I just finally got rid of the last of my flash based internal UI stuff two weeks ago. :oops:

And it's not like they can claim they were caught off-guard, as there was plenty of time for developers to transition away from using Flash. Heck, Youtube hasn't been running on Flash for years for this very reason.
