> The existence of Flash Projector softens the blow somewhat, but there will be some content that must be viewed within a web browser.

FWIW, Ruffle appears to be able to play Flash content within a web browser: https://ruffle.rs/demo/

Yes, but its compatibility is very far from 100%. It will likely get better with time; it is unlikely to ever be perfect.

I just wanted to note that the problem you mentioned is being actively addressed by the Ruffle team. As you mention, it will continue to get better with time.
