This extension plays SWF objects of Adobe Animate (Flash) in a pure JS emulator without the need to have a native Flash plug-in like Adobe FlashPlayer. The extension uses the open-source swf2js library as its emulation engine. By default, the extension does not play Flash objects instead, the user presses the toolbar button for the extension to find all available Flash objects or links in the current webpage. It will offer the user to select the proper SWF object and then send the link to a stand-alone emulator window. This way Flash objects are only functioning when there is a request. For Flash links, the extension adds a context menu item to these links so you can directly emulate an SWF link.
Features: Runs a pure JavaScript-based Flash emulator Does not require any native plug-ins Run in a private sandboxed window to protect the user privacy Use two different engines: Ruffle (https://ruffle.rs/) and SWF2JS (https://swf2js.com/) Optionally emulate all embedded flash objects inside the page (use action's right-click context menu)
Notes: This extension uses two open-source emulator engines. The SWF2JS library still does not support all methods available so some SWF objects may crash the engine. The extension always tries to open the emulation window the same size as the actual Flash object, however, you can resize the window to the proper size anytime.
