Software Update: Adobe Flash Player 31.0.0.153

Adobe has released a security update to its Flash Player for ChromeOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows. This browser plug-in enables playback of Flash content, including rich internet applications, and streaming audio and video. Flash Player is baked into Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, for other browsers it must be installed separately. The use has been on the decline for a while in favor of html5 and more and more browsers require an extra mouse click to still play Flash content.
