;Adobe Flash Player
:The proprietary reference implementation by , which Adobe, who discontinued it stopped directly supporting in 2020. The web version relies on [[wikipedia:NPAPI|NPAPI/PPAPI]], an obsolete browser plugin system that for many years only stuck around specifically because of Flash Player; when as Adobe was phasing out the plugin was officially dropped by Adobe, so too was the plugin system gradually being dropped by all the major browser vendors. The discontinued desktop player version is still available for download from debug downloads section of Adobe's website, and Harman International is also [https://airsdk.harman.com/flashplayer maintaining an extended support version specifically for enterprise users].
:;CheerpX for Flash
::A payware HTML5 software package which basically just takes Harman's version of Flash Player and uses CheerpX, an x86 emulator in WebAssembly, to make it run in modern browsers. No-one on this wiki has had the chance to properly evaluate it, but we'd expect reference-level accuracy at the cost of woeful performance.
