CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt on December 05, 2008
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.
Publisher's description
From Adobe Systems :Flash Player 9 is a lightweight, highly expressive client runtime that delivers powerful and consistent user experiences across major operating systems, browsers, mobile phones, and devices. Flash Player 9 builds on the advances in Flash Player 8 by focusing on three main areas: creating a more robust programming model, achieving standards compliance, and improving performance. This release of Flash Player includes ActionScript 3, a significant update to the scripting language of the runtime that provides a familiar syntax and compelling new language features; and new Flash Player APIs, such as those for the display list, enabling greater creative control over content and applications.

Version: Flash Player 9.0.16
Pros: There are literally thousands of websites on the web using Flash. Without a Flash Player, you can't view them. No other company makes the Flash Player so you need to download this one no matter what. It has no bugs and is a pretty small file. It is simply essential.
Cons: None really. It's a Flash Player and it enables your browser to view Flash media. Simple as that.

"NOTHING TO SAY YOU NEED THIS"
Pros: There is not a lot of things that you need on your computer.
If you don??t have this its like not having a browser or a media player.
