I have ubuntu 18.04 installed on my computer and while trying to view a video on certain websites I get a message that says unable to play video, adobe flash player 10 is required. Is there a version of flash player 10 available for ubuntu 18.04?
I expect Flash will be dead within the next year or two.
Adobe has announced that they will stop updating and distributing the Flash Player at the end of 2020. Consequently, for security reasons, the Flash plug-in should not be used after 2020.

really version 10?
that website must be a decade out of date. i would call it broken.
installing a current flashplugin is just a web search (for instructions) and an apt-get away...
I have flash player that works on all websites except for a couple of them. So I will just be satisfied with what I have got. Thanks for the suggestions.
ok.
if you really depend on this ancient website, you can try to set up a different browser with that specific version of adobe flashplayer, maybe even in a virtual machine.
