About Puffin Flash Browser
Puffin Flash Browser is now subscription-based. In addition to the existing $1/month subscription, two new low-cost prepaid subscriptions are available at $0.25/week and $0.05/day. The exact price depends on tax, exchange rate, and Google's pricing policy in each country. Puffin's monthly postpaid subscription offers Android's standard 7-day free trial. Puffin's short-term prepaid subscriptions let users pay for Puffin only when they need it.
Adobe Flash Support: This is the legacy Puffin that supports Adobe Flash. Puffin can't upgrade its Chromium engine to the latest version because PPAPI (Pepper Plugin API), which Flash depended on, was removed from Chromium after Adobe ended Flash support in early 2021. Over time, the legacy Puffin is no longer a "general-purpose" web browser. Instead, it's a niche browser to extend the life of Flash.
Features:
• Adobe Flash Support
• Desktop modes for a full web experience
• Theater mode for Flash videos and games
• Virtual Trackpad & Gamepad
===== In-App Purchases =====
* $1 per month for Puffin Monthly Subscription
* $0.25 per week for Puffin Weekly Prepaid
* $0.05 per day for Puffin Daily Prepaid
==== Limitations ====
• Puffin’s servers are located in the US and Singapore. Geolocation restrictions on the content may occur if you are based in other countries.
• Puffin is blocked in certain regions (e.g., China, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates) and some educational institutions (e.g., schools in the United States).
