Editor's review of Flash Player (Internet Explorer) 8.0.22

• 4.5 stars

• "Essential for video"

• Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt

• Version reviewed: Flash Player (Internet Explorer) 8.0.22

Adobe's latest version of the Flash Player browser plug-in is just as trouble-free as previous versions, existing unobtrusively in your system until Web-based animations, games, or ubiquitous Flash ads require its services.

The latest version downloads and installs quickly, and will probably always require a browser restart. Our tests turned up nothing to make us scratch our heads, and upgrading from version 9 to the current one has fixed for many people a bug that caused embedded video to freeze.

You need a Flash Player to experience the Web at its fullest, so users at any level of expertise should have no qualms about installing or upgrading to Flash 10.

  "Needed for viewing movies through browser"

  by Lifaen on May 23, 2006

  Pros: Needed for watching most videos through your browser, and works perfectly fine most of the time.

  Cons: I'm not a big fan of Internet Explorer, so I have to download a different version for Mozilla Firefox.

  "Good Product"

  by Mike98 on April 19, 2006

  Pros: Easy to install and uninstall, now also in the control panel. I downloaded and installed version 8.0.24.0 from the macromedia website (owned by adobe). Ideal for animations on the web. Most Windows versions have already the Flash Player installed, but these are old versions of the Flash player. So download the newest!

  "Great if you always like seeing ads most of the time"

  by Paolonicus on May 6, 2006

  Pros: Can't be without if you're a regular internet user. Works great with Yahoo Messenger.

  Cons: If you're one of those that frequently visits friendly web networking( friendster, myspace, hipstir), it will create problems with those pages like messing up your account settings and view options. I've been using Friendster since it became available of early 2004. It works fine until you install Macromedia Flash Player on your pc. Flash player is ok with other websites but not for those that I'ved mentioned. Try and see for yourself.

  "Can't enjoy the web without this."

  by CableguyTK on January 21, 2006

  Pros: Its free.

  Its required to view some of the best content the web has to offer.

  Cons: Really can't think of any. This program is pretty much a necessity with Internet Explorer.
