Chromium browser on Linux : Flash now working
Friday, July 10th, 2009
UPDATE : for builds after 3.0.194.0, the directive "--enable-plugins" is no longer activated by default, so you need to pass this option to enjoy flash.
UPDATE : Bad news : the latest updates (3.0.195.0~svn20090714r20617-0ubuntu1~ucd2~jaunty) break flash again
Good news for chromium-browser users on Linux.
As of today you can get Flash to work. Make sure you have the latest version installed, pay special attention to the date and build (20090710r20374).
