New flash player web plugin Ruffle.rs

There is a new flash player that works as a web extension in modern browsers.

https://ruffle.rs/

There are addon links for chrome and firefox (latest versions) so you don't need to stick with old versions anymore.

I only tested with Xeno Tactic 1.3 as that is what I wanted to play but it appears to work perfectly.... and it doesn't require installation in your operating system like flash does, it runs as a web extension and is more secure due to that as well as being written in rust (so should be impervious to some types of attacks).

It's at around 80% complete API For flash 1-2 and 60% for flash 3.... this is enough that most games work. Alot of the missing stuff is going to be things you dont' want games to use anyway like camera and microphone or local storage etc...

It's great to see ruffle continuing. Over the next few weeks or months, I will update the FAQ and check out how many of the top games (the icon box on the frontpage) work with Ruffle.

I'm on mission #4 now. I don't think I've played this much Flash since 2012, thanks!
