Stories similar to Adobe's Flash Player seems to stay longer with Chrome's built-in support

Every browser has its own ways of dealing with the inevitable Adobe Flash Technology. Inevitable? Becaues of its wide usage, can't just avoid it.

Google and Adobe have announced that they are to collaborate on development of the Adobe's Flash plug-in. As a first step, Google's Chrome web browser is to have Adobe's Flash Player built in...

“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.

I have the ubuntu adobe flash player plugin from the software centre.. and By the way i am on ubuntu 10.10 since this computer can't handle the newer ubuntu.. :|. I'm wondering how do i do a clean install of the flash player plugin? I know to uninstall it but is there a profile folder that it is in that i should delete after the sudo apt-get remove of it?

I have tried the instructions on the page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-google-chrome.html#m... to turn flash player on and I have restarted my browser and it still gives me this error. How do I get around this error?

Adobe's Flash download page is displaying a message:

NOTE: Adobe Flash Player 11.2 will be the last version to target Linux as a supported platform. Adobe will continue to provide security backports to Flash Player 11.2 for Linux.

What is the plans for Flash support in the future?

With a bit of luck HTML5 media support will drop website developer's dependency on Flash.

Adobe is no longer releasing new versions of Flash Player for Linux with version 11.2 being last release.

The only way to get latest Flash Player in Linux is to use Chrome, as Adobe has partnered with Google to distribute Flash player as a pre-installed plugin in Chrome.

Last updated - 21 Aug; rolled out after discontinuation of Flash support for Android.

Though older version seemed to have issues with Chrome browser, this one works very smooth with it. Tested on Stock F/W, Stock Kernel but Rooted @160dpi.

*** NOTE: FLASH PLAYER IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED FOR NEW DEVICE CONFIGURATIONS.
