"Its not available for the PowerPC Macs,"
Version: Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.26
Pros
Can't give any since I don't have Snow Leopard or an Intel processor and am pissed they are not supporting us, some of us just don't have the money to update
Cons
We don't have the money to keep updating computers and now they are not supporting Power PC 10.5.8 unless I go buy a new computer with Intel processor. Retired/Disabled people can't do this in this economy, we need to pay bills and eat
Summary
I think it was a bad move on Adobe to not continue to support the Power PC's, they should rethink and continue to support us until Lion comes out at least.

"No problems to date."
Version: Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.26
Pros
Installs and executes without difficulties
Cons
None so far.

"Another Piece of Adobe Junk"
Version: Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.26
Pros
Pros-- are you kidding me?
Cons
Crashing, crashing, crashing. If it's not crashing, one single Flash ad on a web page is enough to suck up CPU like crazy, draining my laptop battery.
Summary
This fits well into the line of junky updates of all their applications for the past 3 years or so (like Reader, where the update itself fails half of the time -- they still haven't noticed that there are case sensitive HFS+ file systems out there).
Some 3 years ago or so they must have done something really detrimental to their software QA process. Since then they haven't been able to turn out a single good update any more.
I can't speak about the Windows versions, but the Mac OS X versions of Adobe's software just plain suck. The last stable Reader was 8.1.3, Flash has always been a pain in the back, and I don't want to get started on Air. I can see why Apple doesn't want this junk on iOS.
Get it right, Adobe. Replace your software managers and start over with a good team. -
"Cannot play YouTube anymore"
Version: Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.26
Pros
XXXXXXXXXX
Cons
XXXXXXXXXX
Summary
Since downloading, YouTube videos appear in Safari as a black box with no controls.
-
"Pffft......"
Version: Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.26
Pros
play flash, sometimes
Cons
Still works like crap.
Summary
If I didn't have to have this for some things, I wouldn't have it on my computer. Text boxes show up with nothing in them. This is BS.
-
"Installs easily"
Version: Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.26
Pros
Install it and forget about it as it does it's job in the background
Cons
I have found none yet
Summary
I would recommend this program to anyone who felt they needed it
-
"No Issues."
Version: Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.26
Pros
Quick & Simple.
Cons
No cons, works well.
Summary
THANK YOU cnet !

"I guess it works OK, how can I tell, it is automatic"
Version: Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.26
Pros
It apparently works ok
Cons
I have no complaints, how would I know if it wasn't working?
Summary
Is there a test that can be utilized to ensure this application is working?
I have really nothing more to add to my original review, but I notice you are collecting some bad reviews because this application isn't running as well as older releases - needs to be tested thoroughly!

"From bad to worse"
Version: Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.26
Pros
It clearly demonstrates the need for HTML5
Cons
dr.dk/nu/live/?t - stops playing after a few minutes at most.
voddler.com - the content my kid wanted (Lucky Luke (danish) wouldn't load.
speedtest.net won't load.Summary
All flash-using sites I've visited since installing this update seem to load incredibly slow - if they load at all.
Adobe Flash Player used to play Flash content while using all my system resources, now it just uses all my system resources. -
"Problems right after installation"
Version: Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.26
Pros
Installation went smoothly
Cons
Firefox crashed after installation and some scripts stopped working. After the first few crashes things seemed to settle down.
Summary
I am not sure that I am better after this installation given the immediate crashes in Firefox but it if fixes security holes then it might be worth it.
