It's quite shocking how many 0-day vulnerabilities these guys fix.
Do you mean: "It is quite shocking how many 0-day vulnerabilities Flash has" Or do you mean "It is quite shocking how many 0-day vulnerabilities other software companies don't fix"
Does anyone know how this relates to the "built-in" flash component of Chrome? I don't actually have flash installed on my computer (so it's not available in Firefox or Safari), but I can use it in Chrome because it came with it. Will it just automatically get updated the next time Chrome is updated? Or is there some explicit step I should take outside of waiting for Chrome to update?
By definition once a fix is available it's not a 0day anylonger.
Maybe it's time the porn industry got serious about ditching flash. Porn is the only reason why I still use flash, and I suspect I'm not the only one.
Use it on Linux with NoScript. Knocks out most, if not all, of the problems. ;)
If they absolutely must use these sleazy methods of making extra revenue, couldn't they just limit it to a singe opt-out the first time you install Flash? Kind of ridiculous that they're still trying to scam a buck out of the transaction when you're only downloading yet another update because of security holes.
Kinda makes you wonder why you have to update the program so often, regardless of these more serious issues if each update brings another chance that you'll forget to uncheck the box next to the yellow "M".

Try different sites or youtube-dl.
If anybody want's to make a build for Windows, I'll add it to the release.

How? NoScript (which I use) stops random scripts from running. To watch flash videos (of any kind) one must allow the script to run. Once you've done this NoScript isn't providing any protection anymore.
I know I'm beating a dead horse but it would be nice if they still didn't make you opt out of McAfee when you download one of these critical updates.

Kind of ridiculous that they're still trying to scam a buck out of the transaction when you're only downloading yet…
Now that I think about it, it was exactly this behavior (ride-along crapware) that had me dumping RN products. (Except RN became downright deceptive about it.)
