Flash Installation Tutorial (Provided by Tian Yuan on Zhihu)

Although Flash has retired from the historical stage, there are still some websites that run on Flash. This article teaches everyone how to install Flash on their computers.

This article is about installing ActiveX for Internet Explorer, as Chrome has completely removed the Flash component, so this article will no longer be covered.

This is a modified version based on the Chinese version, which removes ads and rogue software, and has a simple installation interface, getting the job done in one step.

Method 2: Chinese Version Download (Provided by Tian Yuan on Zhihu)

The official Adobe page no longer provides Flash downloads, urging everyone to uninstall Flash and being cautious of third-party download sources that may contain malicious software. At the same time, Adobe and Chongqing Chongcheng Network Technology Co., Ltd. have provided a “special edition” of the FlashPlayer for domestic users.

Let’s do a little science:

Version Compatible Browsers
Flash Center Built-in browser or select the version to install in the software
ActiveX Version Internet Explorer
PPAPI Version Google Chrome or browsers based on the Chromium kernel
NPAPI Version Firefox

We need to download the ActiveX version. Note: This is a modified version, which may have ads and malicious software.
