Hopefully this will lead other browser makers to integrate Native Client as well which would lead to a world free of browser-plugins!
Native Client Flash isn't available for Chromium, which obviously implements NaCl, so I don't see why other browser makes implementing NaCl would let them use NaCl Flash.
For what its worth, I have an Nvidia card and am running Ubuntu 12.04: Chrome's Flash plugin does not work very well on the latest dev build; it has some weird issue with playing flash at double speed or something. I had to switch back to Adobe's flash plugin until this issue is resolved... This could potentially be hardware specific in my case, but, just wanted to let others know that Adobe's plugin still works.

This is good news for Flash, but it does make me sad. Not because it means Flash will continue to be around, but because I really don't like Chrome on Linux. Don't get me wrong, I love Chrome. I use it on Windows all the time. But Linux has this little niggle I can't stand with default browser behavior: Firefox calls it "browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll". And Firefox allows you to change that to true or false. I'm not…
It will perhaps feel a bit weird at first if you're used to go to the address-bar with the mouse but really, since you are going to type an address you are still going to use the keyboard anyway.

Eg - when you can't adapt the world to yourself, adapt yourself to the world. Don't get emotionally affected by every little annoyance in the world and especially technology, that way madness lies.
Eg - pick a workaround, go with it, habitualize it, then move on. Personally I like click address bar, then almost simultaneously CTRL+a. tjoff's ALT-d is awesome too, didn't know about that one.

A bit beside the point but why don't you just use alt+d ? It will perhaps feel a bit weird at first if you're used to go to the address-bar with the mouse but really, since you are going to type an address you are still going to use the keyboard anyway.
Also, as the OP is using a mouse action, it's worth pointing out that triple-clicking the URL does a select-all (by analogy to selecting the whole "line" in other apps).

Google's Chrome web-browser reached version 20 yesterday and for Linux users this marks the point that the web company has taken over Flash Player support on Linux from Adobe using its PPAPI implementation.
As shared back in February, Adobe is abandoning support for Flash Player on Linux. However, they are allowing Google to continue the Flash Linux support via a PPAPI (Pepper) plug-in, which right now is a plug-in API only implemented by the Chrome/Chromium web-browser.
In March Adobe pushed out the last major Linux update meanwhile today with Chrome 20 we have the Google-maintained Flash by default for Linux x86 and x86_64 users.
The Google Chrome 20 release announcement can be found on their blog, but it's not too exciting. Aside from supporting the new Flash implementation for Linux users, there's bug-fixes and the usual round of other enhancements.

Keybindings are weird animals. I've always used Ctrl-L for that, which focuses the URL bar and selects it. I note that Alt-D will not remove focus from an existing text widget, so it doesn't work as reliably. Where does Alt-D come from? I guess it's a vestige of an earlier browser?

Internet Explorer.
If I remember correctly, Phoenix (firefox) was the first browser to support that keybinding. The lack of support for this shortcut in Netscape/Mozilla was one of the reasons I struggled to switch away from IE back in the day. Really hated Ctrl+L as it required two hands (OK, you need two hands to type out the URL, but I was used to Alt+D dammit! :)

Chrome on Linux is the only browser that breaks this. Instead of me having to change how I browse in every browser, why doesn't Google simply add the option to change like Firefox does?
