What is a good replacement for Adobe Flash?
Short answer: there isn't one.
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.
That's what restricted user accounts are for... why do your general users have admin privileges on the workstations?
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?
Use one of a bazillion plugins or websites to download the .FLV file first, then use VLC to play it. If you want embedded in-browser playback, your option consists of... Flash.
