Ruffle: The Flash Emulator for Modern Browsers
Ruffle is a browser extension designed for Firefox that acts as a Flash Player emulator, enabling users to access Flash content seamlessly. This tool automatically detects and converts existing Flash content on websites into a Ruffle player format, ensuring that users can enjoy older web applications and games without needing the original Flash Player. The extension not only upgrades outdated versions of Ruffle on websites but also provides the latest optimizations and fixes, enhancing user experience while preserving web history.
Built using Rust and running on modern browsers through WebAssembly, Ruffle addresses the security vulnerabilities associated with the original Flash Player. As an open-source project, it relies on community contributions for ongoing support and development, making it a collaborative effort to maintain access to legacy content. Ruffle represents a significant step in the preservation of internet history, allowing users to revisit and enjoy classic web experiences safely.
