  now what are you going to do WGT all other browsers are blocking flash its only a matter of time before we want get on WGT

  I use windows 10 and Microsoft edge will not support flash due to its security risk.

  I guess then it is our systems that are fault with the constant crashes its all down to the flash player being wormed out by the browsers we use.

  I can see why we get a lot of WTF shots now if the  flash player is a security risk what is stopping wgt  infiltrating our systems through the flash player.

  At the moment firefox and chrome also microsoft edge are blocking flash and the list will get bigger

  Get Maxthon Cloud Browser it plays the game very well . Most players use it with little to no problems at all .

  Here is a question for WGT.

  Alot of browsers are devoloping their own flash base support, dropping flash altogether or going to HTML5.  How will WGT support this??

  Oh gawd, please help me to stop laughing.

  Define blocking (above) and WTF shots (below).

  Regardless of whether or not you have Adobe Flash Player on your system, there is no such thing as a 'safe browser'. There are many ways to "infiltrate" (your words, not mine) your computer; i.e., email, corrupted websites, Adclick links, etc.

  Where do you people come up with this misinformation? You reading on-line tabloid and conspiracy blogs?

  just sayin'...

  Don't use the Microsoft Edge browser to play WGT.   And don't play WGT in the Windows 10 Hollywood Squares, only in Windows 10 Desktop mode.  There are other alternatives to Microsoft Edge that work better like Maxthon or other chromium-based browsers.

  No big problem in FF:

  Put the site on an exception list, then it works like before. It used to block the Flash ads around the site, but no more :(

  Same old minor stutter probs, and new&rising memory consumption are on the downside.
