Crossing my fingers that Chromium will stop finally yelling at me about my outdated* Flash. *While providing a helpful link to solutions that don't work.
On a side note, Google Chrome/Chromium's at version 20 already?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Are they really? I'd say they are far more invested in WebKit, HTML5 and Java.
The only things I can think of are Flash in YouTube provides far more control over playback for things like downloading, ad delivery etc. But fundamentally... Street View. I can't see how that will be delivered with high performance by HTML5 any time soon.

Yes, it stops moaning and groaning about that in v20. On a side note, Google Chrome/Chromium's at version 20 already?

Street View already works in the WebGL version of Google Maps, with performance no worse than the Flash version.
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.

Welcome to the infinite version. http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2011/05/the-infinite-versio...
I wonder whether Firefox or Chrome will win the race.
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 often changing small bits of a URL; when I click the URL bar it's for the specific intent of removing what is there and replacing it with something completely different. I understand the arguments for both use cases. Firefox does as well. The Chrome developers don't. In searching their bug tracker, you find the Chrome guys don't consider this a bug [1] (it's really not) but worse yet, don't plan on having the option to change this behavior. That's poor customer service, and inconsistent with Chrome on Windows. When I switch between OSes as often as I do, the last thing I want to worry about is how my browser will behave on this machine vs that one.
So now if/when I want to use Flash, I have to switch from Firefox to Chrome. When I'm done using Flash, I have to switch back. Google, please... please don't tell me about your keyboard shortcuts, don't tell me to click three times, don't tell me to click and drag... if you're making me use your browser, let me use it the way I want to. The way it works on Windows or even in Firefox.

Does this mean Flash is being executed in the native client sandbox as well? If so, hooray! (and can we enable this on other platforms)?
