Flash is a plug-in for your web browser that allows you to watch videos and useinteractive web pages on some websites. While HTML5, which is a more modern solution, is increasinglyoffered, there are still some websites which won't work without Flash.
If you do not have Flash installed, you will probably see a message telling you so when you visit a websitethat needs it. Flash is available as a free (but not open-source) download for most web browsers.
Adobe has announced that they will stop updating and distributing the Flash Player at the end of 2020. Consequently, for security reasons, the Flash plug-in should not be used after 2020.
There are two kinds of plug-ins available:
Shockwave Plug In free download - VPN Gate Client Plug-in with SoftEther VPN Client, IObit Uninstaller, Java Runtime Environment (JRE), and many more programs. Cover All Flash Online Download shockwave Flash from Chrome. Auto detect Flash on web page when preview using Chrome. One single click to start a quick downloading.

NPAPI for Firefox and other Gecko-based web browsers
PPAPI for Chromium and other Blink-based web browsers including Opera and Vivaldi
The Google Chrome browser is shipped with Flash bundled, and does not need a plug-in.
The flashplugin-installer package provides the NPAPI plug-in for Firefox. Install the package and restart your browser.
The adobe-flashplugin package provides both the NPAPI and PPAPI plug-ins, i.e. it provides Flash for both Firefox and Chromium like web browsers.
Shockwave Flash Download

Some features of the PPAPI plug-in, such as 3D acceleration and premium video DRM, are not available in the NPAPI plugin. If you use Firefox or some other Gecko-based browser and need those features, you can install the browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash package. It's a wrapper which makes Firefox use the PPAPI plug-in.
