Basically... quoting....
"For Flash Player releases after 11.2, the Flash Player browser plugin for Linux will only be available via the “Pepper” API as part of the Google Chrome browser distribution and will no longer be available as a direct download from Adobe."
So... unless you use Google Chrome on Linux... no Adobe Flash for you. (there's always Gnash, but is it up to the task?)
Do we need Flash? I think this one is basically for streaming services like Netflix who will not be using HTML5 unless there is some DRM crap.
Yes we need Flash. There are gazillions of websites using flash for all kinds of things.
Got it. It appears Adobe was planning to kill Flash for Linux, just the way they killed it for AIR and Google jumped it to keep Flash alive on Linux, even if via Chrome. Swapnil
