Adobe Flash Player (Non-IE) 11.7.700.224

Adobe Flash Player works across a number of different platforms which allows you to download content and view it direct on your computer. Adobe Flash Player has been around for a number of years and there can be no denying that over the last few updates as come on leaps and bounds including the fact it can now be used on mobile phones to watch videos direct on your handset.

One of the things that helps Adobe Flash Player stand out and increase its popularity is the fact that Apple have shunned Flash in favour of HTML5 even on its newest iOS version so people are turning to other programs to help them view online media. Adobe has stepped up their game and Flash Player 11 brings hardware-accelerated graphics support to the platform.

Pros: Easy to use, fast to download and works across a number of different operating systems and platforms.

Cons: Can sometimes be slow to run depending on your internet connection and where you are streaming/playing from.

Conclusion: Being able to play Flash videos is essential if you want to view media online and Adobe Flash Player allows you to do this without too much hassle at all. As it is free to download you should always make sure you have it on your computer so that you can view videos as and when you want to without delay.

Mac users take note: Flash requires OS X 10.6 or later running on an Intel platform since Adobe removed support for PowerPC Macs in Flash 10.
