ahh yes i vaguely remember having to have to install flash player seperately in the past when i used to play in 2013 not so sure about now though no idea of the technical side though

Actually it is Edge not Internet Explore that has Flash baked in. Edge in turn is built on Chrome with Flash built in. But Chromium does not have Flash at all. Running Chromium browser does not access flash simply because it is "baked in" into windows 10. It is in Edge not windows 10 itself.

Microsoft released on Wednesday its new Edge web browser that lets users install extensions from the Google Chrome web store. In some important ways, the new Edge is just Google Chrome dressed in Microsoft clothing — it's based on the same open-source technology that Chrome is built on, Chromium.

Anything is possible, however motivation to do malicious in a virtual world with flash?

Not seeing a whole lot of those happy ones putting a lot of effort into that to try to capitalize on vulnerabilities.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

In 2016, Adobe announced it was ending support for the outdated, unstable program most frequently used to create and run animations — a decision that was, according to many, long overdue. Flash will be shut down completely at the end of 2020, and most won't even realize it's gone.

My opinion is that Flash has served the RLC community well. The ability to do custom deco items using Flash is common throughout RLC. Especially on being able to 3d animate prop textures. Very glad UV has made the effort to continue flash through 3rd party software.

So the Chromium patch still uses internet explorer?

Brian does mention they will be compiling/building their own version of Chromium to be included with the client software @ the townhall

Thanks Viegoth for the above post. UV has always relied on Internet Explorer for it's use. I have seen many people claim that they use this browser or that browser flavour, some even exclaimed that Internet Explorer no longer exists in Windows 10. According to what I read MS turned round and explained it like this, IE should no longer be looked at as a main stay web browser, it's out to pasture as such. But what it is there for is to retain backwards compatibility with older processes we still need and use.

Perhaps it may be this last lifeline that may keep Flash programs working in UV. We were always advised to update Flash in IE for UV, not in the everyday browsers we used except to keep those too up to date. Who knows, but remember this it may not be in your face these days folks but it's still relied on for everyday use. Don't underestimate IE yet. It's saved me many a time with the PB fiasco by filtering images through it. Sites I cannot use or online form filling that just didn't work properly. a quick opening of IE and all was sorted.

Adobe is to the internet like AT&T is to phone service. They create nothing only massive amounts of money gobbling up any and all competition, buying their products, rights and patents. With Adobe it is not so much they can make a 3d cube spin in the center of your screen but they have tools that allows you the developer to simply grab a corner, make it spin one time, tell it to repeat. Bada bing easy. It does all the computer language for you, you just seemingly play with a little building block spinner toy. So until that 3d type windows point, click and drag is created for HTML5 the short answer is.



As soon as a format becomes universal and someone builds it (The animation Building Toy) for HTML5, Adobe will buy it and present it to the market as their own.
