We can't make users download a third-party plugin to use a web site anymore. I suppose that's possible but I don't miss those pop-ups.

I still have one customer with a Flash-based web site, even though it doesn't work on any modern browser. They actually have some old version of IE and the Flash plugin available for download just to use their site.

Why don't they setup https://ruffle.rs/ on their website? I've managed to rescue a website using it and seems to work pretty much with all modern browsers.

AS2 support is good, but not the more modern and powerful AS3

Will point that customer to ruffle. They are not terribly sophisticated, technically, as you can imagine. Nor do they seem willing to spend any money to fix the Flash problem. Nothing about the site needs Flash, it could be implemented in plain HTML+Javascript. They just don't want to pay anything to do that.
