Flash plugin in browser

Hi,

I'd like to run adobe flash animation in a browser. I'd like to see for example the animation which is on the following link:
sun simulation

If I get it right, chromium does not support anymore flash.
(see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chromi … yer_plugin and https://www.chromium.org/flash-roadmap# … --Jan-2021- if you want to know about this limitation)

So far I tried with firefox:
- lightspark -> I get an empty webpage
- ruffle -> I get an empty webpage

I just can see the flash animation using ruffle as a stand alone app.

Is there anyway to see animation in a web browser?

From https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Browse … sh_players, I don't see any possibilities, except maybe gnash but as it is not updated, I wonder if it is secure to use it?

Not even adobe supports flash anymore!

Nope, not secure.  Using flash has always been a bad idea and it's only become progressively worse.  But I did see an article from earlier this year saying Opera was continuing to support it natively.  If you ask me that sounds like a reason to avoid Opera at all costs ... but apparently you might want to try it.

Re: Flash plugin in browser

ruffle works just fine. The problem on that page are the 100% heights. A quick and dirty "<style>* { height: 100vh; }</style>" works.
