Ruffle - Flash Emulator by Ruffle
Review by DarseZ
Rated 3 out of 5
by DarseZ, 5 years agoIt worked perfectly for my purpose (playing old SWF content I created for clients in order to screen record). For performance it deserves full marks.
I tempered my rating to 3 stars because of the puzzling (to me) requirement for the add-on to access all data for any website. I don't see why it needs to have my bank login data, for instance.
I installed on a separate portable browser and used it, then uninstalled immediately after. But it would be great to have an add-on that requested access to specific sites as needed, rather than a blanket permission which it can have access to any amount of material. I understand many people don't care about that, but it's essential for my purposes.
However, aside from that...this worked perfectly. Thanks for creating this and giving us a window into past great web content.

- Rated 4 out of 5by hackerb9, 2 days agoSeems to work, but defaults to being able to read your data from *all* websites which is poor security practice and makes it seem suspicious.
Weirdly, if you take the effort to disable that permission, the Ruffle extension still works just fine, falling back properly to allowing you to choose to run it per site.
Until the developers fix that security issue, I only recommend this extension to people who feel expert enough to turn off that permission. The steps to do so are: Click the puzzle piece icon on the toolbar, click the gear next to the Ruffle extension, choose "Manage Extension", select the "Permissions and data" tab, turn off the slider for "Access your data for all websites". - Rated 5 out of 5by lionovsky, 7 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by swagbert89, 4 months agoWorks like a charm!
P.S. I know this is really specific, but for any Club Penguin Legacy players: if some mini-games just load endlessly for you, try disabling Ruffle. (That seems to be the culprit for me, at least.) Other than that I've had no problems! Long live Flash! - Rated 5 out of 5by GhostStrike8, 4 months ago
