Flash player does not ship with browsers, at least not with every

"Initially, the Flash Player plug-in was not bundled with popular web
browsers and users had to visit Macromedia website to download it,
but as of year 2000, the Flash Player was already being distributed
with all AOL, Netscape and Internet Explorer browsers. Two years
later it shipped with all releases of Windows XP." -- Wikipedia
