![]() You've made me feel a little better about my admittedly impulsive decision!! not the most technologically advanced and probably shouldn't have downloaded it without doing my research. Thank you for looking into this and explaining it so well! I am. (And to keep up-to-date on any developments regarding this version of Flash.)Īlso, be sure to check out the (archived) GitHub download page of Clean Flash Player, which includes all the necessary information about the installer & compatible browsers: I guess this does seem to be the ~safest~ way to install Flash at this point in time, but I'd still encourage everybody who wants to try this to be very aware of any potential security risks you might expose your computer to. ![]() The most recent Flash version (as of May 10, 2022) is 34.0.0.242 ( as seen in the sidebar on Wikipedia's Flash entry), which is a newer version than the one from the installer, so I'd strongly suggest checking if you receive updates at all, or if this could potentially turn into a security risk for your computer. It appears someone saved the installer and uploaded it to dropbox. The code for the installer was available on GitHub.Īdobe did not like this at all, and had the code taken down due to copyright infringement. ![]() However, this download includes an adware program called "Flash Helper", which might contain malware.Ī developer decided to create the installer (from the Reddit comment), which installs this Chinese, updated version of Flash, without the adware. I got curious about what "Clean Flash" is (and how safe it is), so I looked into it, and figured I'd post what I found here, in case anyone else is interested:Īpparently Flash is still supported in China, where it can be downloaded from the official Chinese Flash site, and receives one security update per month.
