A safe alternative to use adobe flash player on iPad

I have found that there are some alternative browser options/apps out there that will allow you to function on iOS with sites that use adobe flash. Im wondering if this is a good idea, since I need to use it with a particular budgeting/bill pay site that is linked to my banking accounts? I use this site every day to pay bills, budget and track spending, but it will not work on ipad or iphone due to requiring flash. This is one of the few things that makes me consider replacing my old laptop with another PC vs going to a second ipad in our home. I have to have access to this site when I am away from my mac or other PC. Just wondering if it is a safe and secure idea to use one of the alternate browsers like Puffin, or another work around app since Im dealing with financial information?

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
  1. Puffin
  2. SkyFire
  3. Photon Flash
  4. Browse2Go
  5. Swifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • Why can't u use adobe flash player with iPad II ?

    I use adobe flash player a good bit on my pc but I cannot download it from my ipadII why?

    it's an Internet Browser add-on and apple doesn't allow any add-ons for the Safari Application due to security issues, certain add-ons could give potential spyware, virus, or other things to get your personal information.
    Apple computers allow add-ons because typically people aren't using their computer to make emergency phone calls and things like that like they do from the mobile devices, so the computers can afford to get errors and crash while it would be a huge liability for Apple to allow the phone's potential harm.

    How can I use adobe flash player on iPad 2?

    You cannot.  Adobe does not make it for ipad.
    This has been discussed over and over and over and over and over and over again on these forums.  Please do a forums search - right side of this page.
    There is no need to add yet another thread on this very tired subject.
    Adobe has announces d that they are selling a platforms that will allow ipad users to view flash content.  This is nothing that users will have.  The developer of the video will have to do this.

  • Should I use adobe flash player ?

    Hi,
    I am an OSX user version 10.9.4
    I have for some time been using Adobe Flash Player and since then I have problems watching anything that moves. I get a message box from Adobe asking me if Adobe can use more space on my disk. What does this mean?
    Is there a better program other than Adobe Flash Player?  Or do I even need a Flash Player? Is there a Flash player in Mavericks?

    In my experience, the biggest risk with Flash is that unscrupulous third-party web sites may say you need to update Flash and actually load you up with malware. Please see these older articles:
    http://www.thesafemac.com/tag/fake-flash-player/
    Flash is safely managed by ignoring popups telling you to download a new version. If you see one, go to System Preferences > Flash Player and select the "Advanced" tab to see what version you have:
    Then go to Adobe's Flash Player download site:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    and compare the Flash version shown there with what your System Preferences show. If you are below what is shown, it is safe to update from that page AND THAT PAGE ONLY!
    Note I set my Flash preferences to "Never check for updates. That way, any popup saying you need to update is known to be a scam that could damage your computer. I manually check for new update about twice a month. You can easily set a Reminder if you feel you won't remember to check.

  • How to successfully install and use Adobe Flash Player on an iMac?

    I have the latest OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.  It makes actually several years that I have not been able to view videos that use Adobe Flash Player.  This is true of several sports websites I like such as ATPtour.com and ESPN.com.  A few days ago I have upgraded my OS to the most current one.  And, I retried downloading Adobe Flash Player and it made no difference.  I tried to see the videos using numerous different browzers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) with no success. 
    I know Steve jobs hated Adobe Flash Player because it was so inefficient.  But, I thought one could still use it with Mac computers.  Are you guys having as much difficulty as I am?  If not what are the solutions to running Adobe Flash Player?  Thank you in advance for your information.

    You haven't actually asked a question, but as stated you should only download Flash Player directy from Adobe.
    Nor have you said what version of OS X and Safari you are running.
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • I use Adobe Flash player version 11.7.700.225 why do my YouTube and other videos keep stopping

    I use Adobe Flash player version 11.7.700.225 which is the latest version.  can anybody tell me why my YouTube and videos stop and I cannot view them I have a macbook pro with retina display late 2012 and I am running OSX 10.8.4. Do I need some other flash to view or what thanks for your time.

    noelenefromashford,
    I'm in the same boat. Safari 6.0.5, stalls, and stops playing video (youtube, vimeo, etc). I tried the same videos with Firefox and they play fine!
    Running 10.8.4 on Mac tower.
    I just switched from an older Macbook Pro 15" with the same OS version and browsers , and never had that issue. What gives?

  • How to use adobe Flash Player offline within a webpage?

    I am connected to a network that has no internet access.  I am trying to demonstrate a product that is uses adobe flash player within the webpage. The webpage first goes to "http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback.swf" file and then goes to the stream.  Is there anyway to download that file and store it locally to get the stream to work properly? Is there a standalone flash player that does not require GET to the swf file to start streaming the media?  What would be the best way to go about this issue?

    There IS a standalone Flash Player but is's part of Flash Professional. You'd need to purchase it (or download a 30 day trial, but I don't know if the Flash Player would keep working after the trial expires).
