Hi. With the demise of Adobe Flash Player I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a free replacement. I assume I need to replace it with something. I don't work on my computer just shopping, banking, browsing etc. and PG. I'm running Win 8.1. Advice is greatly appreciated.

Most if not all websites should now function without the need for Adobe Flash player.

Classic example is WGT golf which ran originally with Adobe Flash player but is now proper software available freely via Steam.

Thanks for the reply. I though the flash player was necessary to play videos especially from news feeds.

Any website should now be using HTML5 to deliver content such as videos.
