    Today there was another Adobe flash update to 16.0.0.305. That is the 3rd or fourth flash update since the first of the year. All versions were very stable for me playing WGT so why so many updates so close together. I will test the new version with several browsers and edit this post to let everyone know how stable or unstable it is. (Edit)

    The testing went as follows. 9 holes CTTH on the Golflink Open on Bandon Dunes, 

    I tested Comodo Dragon, Palemoon 64, Waterfox, SRWare Iron and Google Chrome. All 5 had very smooth stable meters quick load times. However with Google Chrome I had 2 or 3 Oh Snaps and had to give up trying to get the full 9 hole CTTH round done. Verdict very stable update except with Google Chrome.

    I didn't test Firefox,Safari or any Maxthon browsers as I don't have them installed on this PC. And I  didn't test test IE because IE runs so poorly on this PC that I never use it for anything. 

    Palemoon 64 and Waterfox are both Firefox based and Comodo Dragon and SRWare Iron are both chrome based.

    What I have found about these Flash updates is if you want to update a certain browser you have to use that one.

    I update Firefox ( Mozilla ) then copy & paste  the new  dll to the Maxthon file and delete the old one.

    IE download Flash separate also.

    I heard that there are ultra-severe security issues with Flash. Some propose to uninstall it. (can't give a link because google is language-oriented)

    There's a Flash blocker plugin available - I installed it to accept Flash only from the sites I want and need.
