The Internet Archive announced the preserve of a large amount of Adobe Flash Player content
The Adobe Flash Player player will completely end its support at the end of this year, and the entire Internet based on the player’s content will quickly disappear.
Although no one regrets the loss of this technology, the non-profit organization Internet Archive has decided to keep some content as a memorial to our future generations.
Currently, the Internet Archive is fully searching for animations and games based on this technology, and these contents will be permanently stored by the Internet Archive for future generations to experience.
You may want to save these contents without a player. Isn’t it impossible to use it? In the future, Adobe Flash Player will definitely not continue to support due to the suspension of updates.
Therefore, the Internet Archive plans to use Ruffle technology to develop a similar Adobe Flash Player player that can play the content directly in the browser.
This means that in the future, we can load Adobe Flash Player content directly in the browser, without having to install Adobe Flash Player to interact with it.
The Internet Archive says that thousands of animations and games are currently preserved, and future generations can experience this technology through supported browsers.
Ruffle is not yet fully compatible with Adobe Flash Player, but in theory, as long as the browser supports WebAssembly technology, content can be played.
Browsers supporting this technology include mainstream browsers such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari.
