I am looking for an alternative to Adobe Flash Player.
I found some swf file players, but I need a browser built-in player.

Thank you in advance.

At the moment there is Lightspark (http://lightspark.github.com/) for Linux users.
I completely uninstalled flash.Youtube and vimeo have html5 support.

Wow, I didn't know there was such a project.

I wanted to use HTML5 on all videos since it loads much faster than Flash, but only a small fraction of them were available in the new format - for an unregistered user, at least. Is it different if you have an account?

I think it's the same.:dabs:. To be honest youtube's html5 player sucks really hard compared to http://sublimevideo.net/.I wish flash would die faster.

Thank you for reply. But I use Windows 7 and the sites (which I use) do not support HTML5.
So, I guess there is no alternative at the moment.

i've never been a flash fan but i don't mind using it for special things either. as pointed out before it's still gonna take a while until flash might have been replaced by something else
