It was installed on an estimated 99% of internet-connected desktop computers in that year and has been available for Android 2.2 mobile devices since version 10.1, although Flash for Android is no longer updated by Adobe in favor of HTML5 and native applications.

Versions

Google Chrome contains a special version of the Flash Player plugin targeting the Pepper API.

The final stable version of Flash Player for Windows and Mac is 32.0. (version history)
