    As Flash was known for it having more holes than a Swiss cheese, how is Ruffle in terms of security?

      To be fair it’s a flash drop in replacement. It isn’t supposed to be secure by design, just like flash.

        It is, the whole purpose of Ruffle is to play flash files, but without a security threat (which is the whole reason Flash doesn’t exist anymore).

      It’s running in a sandbox afaik, and the goal is to replace Flash but stay secure. Since it uses Web Assembly, you can’t use Ruffle in any way to create any security threat, you couldn’t create without using Ruffle. (Different to Flash, which created tons of new security threats, even leading to the plugin being disable).
