Apparent defect in µBlock’s Ruffle-blocking fails to load some SWF pages

Post by Mæstro » 2025-01-29, 21:02

In past threads, I have discussed how to disable the Internet Archive’s automatic piping of Flash content to emulation in Ruffle, so the native plug-in can run instead. On this test page with the existing measures implemented, described in general and for SWF pages, a blank white screen appears. This is not a defect in the archived item; the same page renders the Flash content through Ruffle’s emulation in Ungoogled Chromium. Unlike before, my sister is too ill to offer any assistance. How can the Archive here be made to render Flash properly? As past remedies have involved µBlock, I place the request here, not under web compatibility.
