Best flash player on ubuntu?

When I encounter a flash video in ubuntu I get an option to install 3 different swf players:

  • Adobe
  • Swfdec
  • Gnash

Which is the most stable and preferred player?


Adobe Flash.

It might be slow but it's still the best of the lot still for feature compliance and stability.


You forget Lightspark. But none of these alternative is really stable and they will usually work on few videos and crash on the others. If you watch lot of video I suggest you stick to Adobe Flash, if you don't watch a lot of videos and don't play online flash videos games Lightspark and Swfdec are good.
