All the engaging and graphic elements that you see on the internet, like images, videos, music, animation, multimedia elements, embedded apps, and games, etc., are created using Adobe Flash. It works in close coordination with your browser to ensure that you have uninterrupted access to these graphics and enjoy a pleasant web browsing experience. In fact, it would be no exaggeration to say that the internet would have been a boring place without Adobe Flash player. Websites would just be pages after pages of boring plain text. Adobe Flash Player is still largely in use for computers but it is not supported on Android anymore. Android decided to make the move to HTML5 due to its promising features of faster, smarter, and safer browsing. Older Android versions like the ones before Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) can still run Adobe Flash Player. However, for newer versions, Android decided to withdraw support for Flash Player. The problem that arises because of this is that there is still a lot of content on the internet that uses Adobe Flash Player and Android users aren’t able to view or access them.

A Word of Caution Before We Begin
Since Android has officially withdrawn support for Adobe Flash Player on their devices, trying to manually install it might cause some complications. Let us now take a look at what kind of trouble we might get into.
Using Adobe Flash Player on Your Stock Browser
One important fact about Adobe Flash Player is that it is not supported on Google Chrome for Android. You will not be able to run Flash content while using Google Chrome on your Android smartphone. Instead, you will have to use your stock browser. Every Android device comes with its own native browser. In this section, we will be going through the various steps that you need to follow to install Adobe Flash Player for your stock browser on Android.
Using Adobe Flash Players enabled Browser
Another effective way to view Flash content on your Android phone is by using a browser that supports Adobe Flash Player. There are a number of free browsers that you can download and use on your device. Let us now take a look at some of them.
1. Puffin Browser
Puffin Browser comes with a built-in Adobe Flash Player. There is no need for you to download it separately. It also automatically updates Flash Player to its latest version. Another cool feature of Puffin Browser is that it emulates a PC environment and you will find a mouse pointer and arrow keys in the overlay. It is easy to use and has a simple interface. Most importantly, it is free and works on all Android versions.
The only issue with Puffin Browser is that sometimes while viewing the Flash content it might appear choppy. This is because it renders content in its cloud instead of playing it locally. Doing so makes it easier for the browser to transfer data from overseas. However, the viewing experience suffers a bit due to this. You can choose to lower the quality of Flash content for an interruption-free playback.
2. Dolphin Browser
Dolphin Browser is another very famous and useful browser that supports Adobe Flash Player. Dolphin Browser is available for free on the Play Store. However, you need to enable Flash plug-in and also download Flash Player before you can access Flash content. To do so simply go to the settings of the browser. There you will find a tab called Flash player, click on it and set the settings to always on. After this, open any website that has Flash content. If you can find one then simply search the Adobe Flash test. This will prompt you to download the APK for Adobe Flash Player.
Take note that you need to allow installation from unknown sources (use the method described above) before downloading and installing Adobe Flash Player. Once the APK is installed you can easily use the browser to view Flash content on the internet. One advantage that the Dolphin browser has is that it does not render flash content in its cloud and hence the playback is not choppy as in the Puffin browser. Recommended:
