> I'm somewhat surprised nobody has packaged up an old version and wrapped it with "only run flash for these urls" and "don't update the ppapi plugin" type functionality. All the pieces seem to be available: https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7084871?hl=en

This is likely to be of minimal use, since browsers will soon be removing Flash support entirely. Firefox in particular is carrying a significant amount of code to shim gtk2 in a gtk3 program.

But you can run Flash files outside of a browser. At least, you used to be able to. It’s been a long time since I last did that.

It's called the Adobe Flash Projector IIRC

>since browsers will soon be removing Flash support entirely

My assumption is that if you manually install an older Flash plugin that it will work.

But it might only work in an older browser.

Ppapi plugins are supposed to be supported through June of 2022 in Chrome.

Hasn't Adobe removed all Flash player binaries from their site?

Yes, though the Internet Archive has 32.0.0.371 and many other older versions: https://web.archive.org/web/20200701045943/https://helpx.ado...

If you're looking for "old Flash with a curated set of movies" you can use Flashpoint.
