Software Update: Adobe Flash Player & AIR 27.0.0.130

Adobe has released version 27 of Flash Player and the Integrated Runtime. This browser plugin makes it possible to play Flash content, including so-called rich Internet applications and streaming audio and video. Flash Player is built into Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, for other browsers it will have to 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.
