Replacement for Adobe Flash Player
by Robert Dyck 05 Feb '16

05 Feb '16

What is a good replacement for Adobe Flash? A number of people don't like the additional software that comes with Flash. Or that Flash requires updates so often. Where I volunteer, a number of people apply updates without looking and don't know where they get all the extra crap. I did a Google and found recommendation on Tom's Hardware for DivX, but the one time I tried it wouldn't play web video. Apparently the website must be formatted for DivX web player, it won't play the same streaming video as Adobe Flash Player. What will play web video, won't crash, won't install adware or other crap, and free? Thanks, Rob Dyck
