Adobe Flash曾经是用于在网络上显示富媒体内容的最广泛使用的技术之一。然而，随着网络内容创建者从它转向更快、更安全的开放网络技术，甚至Adob(Adobe) e 也认输了，宣布他们将在 2020 年底停止支持Flash ，并决定像(Flash)谷歌(Google)这样的主要科技公司也这样做. Flash从(Flash)Chrome和任何其他网络浏览器中逐步淘汰，现在已经到了默认被阻止的阶段。自2021 年1 月 12日起， (January 12th)Adobe Flash Player已终止：您无法从Adobe下载(Adobe)的网站，如果您需要访问依赖它的网站，您将无法再使用它。但是，在本教程中，我们将向您展示如何使用名为Ruffle的浏览器扩展程序在Chrome上解除对(Chrome)Adobe Flash Player的阻止，以便您仍然可以在您信任的网站上使用Flash ：
注意：(NOTE:)自2020 年12 月 31日起， (December 31)Adobe停止支持Flash Player，从2021 年1 月 12(January 12)日开始，该公司也开始阻止Flash内容运行。根据Adobe Flash Player EOL 一般信息页面(Adobe Flash Player EOL General Information Page)，该公司还强烈建议您从您的计算机和设备中卸载Flash Player ，以消除安装此软件带来的安全问题。(Flash Player)
Adobe Flash Player被阻止并正式死亡。如果您在Chrome中访问(Chrome)Flash网站会发生什么？
如果您尝试打开使用Flash的网站，Chrome可能会告诉您必须“单击以启用 Adobe Flash Player”，(“Click to enable Adobe Flash Player,”)如下面的屏幕截图所示。在其他情况下，您可能会看到带有类似消息的弹出窗口。当您想查看该网站时，您将在运行Adobe Flash Player时单击或说是。
Adobe Flash Player在(Adobe Flash Player)Chrome中被阻止
当您告诉 Chrome 您要运行Flash内容时，浏览器会告知您“2020 年 12 月之后将不再支持 Flash Player”。(“Flash Player will no longer be supported after December 2020.”)然后，它为您提供了两个选项：Allow或Block。选择允许加载Flash Player似乎正是您想要的。
Adobe Flash Player：插件被阻止
但是，即使您选择允许Flash运行，谷歌浏览器(Google Chrome)仍然会阻止它，说“Adobe Flash Player 已被阻止，因为它已过时”。(“Adobe Flash Player was blocked because it is out of date.”)同时，它为您提供了另外两个选项：更新插件(Update plugin)和这次运行(Run this time)。
如果您单击/点击更新插件(Update plugin)按钮，您将被带到 Adobe 的Flash Player网页，在那里您会被告知它已达到其生命周期(End of Life)并且您可以再使用它。
Adobe Flash Player因过期而被阻止
如果您单击/点击Run this time，Chrome 会显示F(lash) I(nformation)图片，该图片链接到前面提到的同一Adobe Flash Player EOL网页。(Adobe Flash Player EOL)

Adobe Flash usеd to be one of the mоst widely used teсhnologіes for diѕplaying media-rich content on the web. However, as web content creators moved away from it and towаrds the faster and more secure open web technologies, even Adobe threw in the tоwel, announcing they would stоp supporting Flash at the еnd of 2020 and determining major tech companies like Google to do the same. Flash’s phase-out from Chrome and any other web browser hаs now reached the stage where it is blocked by default.

According to the Adobe Flash Player EOL General Information Page, the company also strongly recommends you to uninstall Flash Player from your computers and devices to remove the security issues that came with having this software installed.
Adobe Flash Player is blocked and officially dead. What happens if you visit a Flash website in Chrome?
If you’re trying to open a website that uses Flash, Chrome might tell you that you have to “Click to enable Adobe Flash Player,” like in the screenshot below. In other cases, you might see a popup with a similar message. As you want to see that website, you’re going to click or say yes when running Adobe Flash Player.
Adobe Flash Player is blocked in Chrome
When you tell Chrome that you want to run Flash content, the browser lets you know that “Flash Player will no longer be supported after December 2020.” Then, it gives you two options: Allow or Block. Choosing to allow Flash Player to load might appear to be exactly what you want.
Adobe Flash Player: Plugin blocked
However, even if you choose to allow Flash to run, Google Chrome will still block it, saying that “Adobe Flash Player was blocked because it is out of date.” At the same time, it gives you another two options: Update plugin and Run this time.
If you click/tap on the Update plugin button, you’re taken to Adobe’s Flash Player webpage, where you’re told that it reached its End of Life and that you can longer use it.

If you click/tap Run this time, Chrome displays a F(lash) I(nformation) picture that links to the same Adobe Flash Player EOL webpage mentioned earlier.

How to unblock Adobe Flash Player
The best way to unblock Adobe Flash Player and run Flash content in Google Chrome right now is to install and use a browser extension called Ruffle. Unfortunately, it’s not yet available in the Chrome Web Store, so there are a couple of manual steps you must take to get it.
Use Chrome to go to Ruffle’s Releases webpage and download the latest Chrome / Edge / Safari browser extension.
The Ruffle Chrome extension for Flash
Save the Ruffle browser extension on your computer, and then extract its contents somewhere on your PC. Any location will do, including your Desktop or Downloads folder.
Extracting the Ruffle Flash browser extension
Go back to your Google Chrome browser, or open it again if you closed it. In its address bar, type chrome://extensions and press Enter on your keyboard.
The chrome://extensions page
On Chrome’s Extensions page, enable the Developer mode using its switch from the top-right corner of the window.
Turning on the Developer mode in Google Chrome
Click or tap the Load unpacked button from the top-left area of the Extensions page.
Load unpacked Ruffle Flash extension
The previous action opens a new window called “Select the extension directory.” Use it to browse through your computer or device to locate the folder where you extracted the Ruffle browser extension. Click or tap on it to select it, and then press the Select Folder button.
Select the extension directory
Chrome should instantly load and install Ruffle. You can then see it listed on the Extensions page. It should also be enabled by default, but if it’s not, make sure that its switch is turned on.
The Ruffle Flash Chrome extension is installed and enabled
Next, try to visit a website that relies on Flash content. Instead of the link to the Adobe Flash Player EOL webpage, you should now see a large Play button. Click or tap on it.
Unblock Adobe Flash Player on Chrome
If everything’s right, Chrome should now be able to load the website correctly.
Adobe Flash Player: plugin unblocked
You’ve managed to unblock Adobe Flash Player in Chrome. However, keep in mind that the Ruffle browser extension is in an early development stage, so it might not always work as expected. Hopefully, it will do the job for the Flash websites you’re interested in.
