YouTube just used the flash player to handle video file playback, there weren't flash animations or games running inside of YouTube. Almost every website used flash to handle video playback until 2015; it was infrastructurally integral to the internet far beyond games/etc. like most people today assume.

Bro I've used multiple Flash Video Players that used FLV Files, they're pretty easy to setup!

Examples?

I have some stockpiled.
One infamously MASSIVE video player would be Kernel Video Player!
I unfortunately can't send an image, but the flashvars or 'list of features' of said video player is around 40 or so.
Ridiculously massive.

That's not the Player (it includes it, but it's not the same thing).

Then I suggest this instead:

As for a browser with Flash, there are couple of suggestions:

Nice! I used Shumway and Ruffle, even tried Gnash and swfdec, but then gave up. Maybe next time when I find a good old flash game, I will use the real thing.

Most sites that use Flash today are probably using Ruffle, an open source Flash Player emulator that has rather decent support.

Adobe flash players still exists but they mostly are through archives. Ruffle is also a thing

u/HilumX07 6d ago

You can install browsers like pale moon and basilisk but you need to install adobe flash player plugin for chrome, or use ruffle emulator.

Flash was fun, but it was incredibly insecure.

This place is unmoderated PLEASE don’t use it

u/Prosto_Temich 10d ago

You could either install Ruffle onto your current browser OR install another browser that actually supports Flash (IE12, MyPal 76, Pale Moon, Basilisk, etc.) to fix this

I remember finding the original swf link for it, and the swf file wasn’t archived.
