Ruffle Alternatives
Ruffle is described as 'Flash Player emulator written in Rust. Ruffle runs natively on all modern operating systems as a standalone application, and on all modern browsers through the use of WebAssembly' and is a Flash Player. There are eight alternatives to Ruffle for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Firefox, Mac and Online / Web-based. The best alternative is BlueMaxima's Flashpoint, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Ruffle are Lightspark, Gnash, Newgrounds Player and CheerpX for Flash.
