Just like that. Already in september announced that both Chrome and Chromium will say goodbye to Netscape Plugin APIs (NPAPI) support by the end of 2014 and will dedicate themselves to supporting Pepper Plugin APIs (PPAPI). But now they will go ahead for the case of Linux. In April, Chromium will abandon NPAPIs (including the Adobe Flash Plugin).
Now, why so much trouble on Linux and not on Windows or Mac OS? Because Chrome and Chromium 34 (expected in April) on Linux is going to come with Aura, the graphical stack that they use in Chrome OS and that will take it to the other operating systems. It does not use native widgets, it has graphical acceleration when it is available and most importantly: it "draws" every bit of the browser virtually, without the need to use GTK + or Win32, which will mean a greater unification of your base code and the possibility of its interface is truly multi-platform. With this, Google gets to get rid of a lot of depreciated APIs, including NPAPIs.
And ……… ..what alternatives will Chromium users have on Linux? Two nothing more. Or install Pepper Flash from Chrome, which implies downloading Chrome, unzipping it, extracting the flash, placing it in / opt and deleting the chrome (not only is there a script for that, but there are already distros that package that script. Ubuntu has it in its Software Center, Arch it has it in the AUR and Debian includes it in its contrib repos) …………… or not install it and just use whatever HTML5 there is.
Oh, and for those who use Firefox, this will not affect them because it only affects Chromium and its derivatives. Already for Firefox 28 or 29 Shumway is expected. I tried it yesterday downloading the extension, and it goes very well but still lacks.
Firefox in gtk3 is coming very soon and there will also stop working flash player, which depends on gtk2.
Yes, by the time Firefox 29 arrives

It will be necessary to see if by that time it will even be able to reproduce the porn… ..: /, otherwise I don't see a future for it.
2 days ago I tried it with a page like this ………………… no case, webmasters are wankers (tutumpaf)
I was testing it a while ago and it pretty much only works with its own page.
@cat:
The truth is that it does look promising, but I better wait for the final version to come out and port it for Chromium and Opera Blink.
I see it difficult, from what we see in the future, browsers will increasingly move away from Adobe tools and will include their own alternatives, it has already happened with Adobe Reader and now it is time to eradicate what in my opinion is one of the cancers of the internet: Flash Player, although as it happened with PDF.js that jumped from Firefox to Chromium / Chrome, the possibility is never lost.
I just found a thread regarding Shumway for Chrome: https://github.com/mozilla/shumway/issues/834
Well, now that they have it to egg to go to QT and go and they want to pass GTK3, so that it looks even worse in KDE.
Ainssss, to see if one day they decide to fix that defect that separates Firefox from perfection.
Not everyone is a fan of KDE and QT, and considering that most desktop environments today are based on GTK, it seems more logical to me to switch firefox to GTK3 than to QT to "cover most" environments.
Most of the environments that among all of them make the kde quota ..., yes! And now with unity moving to qt as well, the qt quota will reach more than 60%. Taking into account that chrome will use aura and will its dependencies to gtk, I have the feeling that in most desktops that browser will be used.
Not to mention that QT can adapt to GTK themes and vice versa does not happen. The KDEros only have Qtcurve, which is a half patch and only works for GTK2. Luckily Australis comes, which seems to try to half solve this, but with many themes that only bring icons and not backgrounds or shapes for the bars and menus, with Qtcurve we will see how Firefox will look as if we were using it in Windows 95.
On the other hand, for those of you who use GTK, it shouldn't be a problem for Firefox to use QT.
This… Oxygen-Gtk works great, for Gtk2 and Gtk3.
That is, Firefox forces me to use Oxygen if I want it to look good ...
there the problem, that it can only be used with a theme: D, if you change the theme of qt, the gtk3 should still look like oxygen gtk3, a crappy
Well, there are still pages that pull Flash, so if someone still visits these pages, they will have it screwed.
Luckily I'm still loyal to Firefox ^^
And I am faithful to the fork of Debian, which has not let me down for anything in the world.
I haven't used flash player for half a year, I've gotten used to living without it. In the same way there is gnash.
Let's say that flashplayer for ñulínux is a shit, because of Adobe that does not leave the member to do better; and gnash is a shit and a half, but you can't beat the developers anymore, because the Adobe bosses don't get out of the c… either. release the code. Hopefully soon, as I have already mentioned, the alternatives will work; when that's the case, I'm going to dig a hole, symbolically put flashplayer in it, and shit inside.
in openSUSE they offer the flash pepper for chromium in the packman repo.
I have a question, isn't gnash for chromium?
PS: I don't use chromium, I am faithful to mozilla / firefox since 2002 or before 😉
Not because it is an NPAPI plugin
Wow, is there an article from Shumway on this website? I review it often and until now I have never heard of it .. it is something quite relieving since I have been pulling GNASH and HTML5 for a long time xD
And I hate gnash. It's a really sloppy plugin and it consumes a lot more resources than Flash Player itself.
Anyway, it's a relief that Shumway will be ready for Firefox 29.
It is a disgrace but there are quite a few banks that use a lot of flash for indicators, some forms, etc. in their personal and business banking pages. Hopefully this will alert you and start improving your sites.
In particular I use Firefox.

I have been using Pepper Flash on Chromium for a long time and without problems (Arch Linux). Anyway, I hope the Flash is dying out ...
Oh by the way, in Chromium I don't see the blog logo, while in Firefox I do.
good, anyway I always download the flash player in .tar.gz and copy the libflashplayer.so to the browser plugins folder ^ _ ^ and it is good that the users of the penguin will try it first lol ..
that's the NPAPI plugin. The only one that will work with Chromium now is the libpepperflashplayer.so
For those of you who hate the Pepper Flash plugin that comes with Chrome for Windows, you will just have to give it a go. Also, if Shumway manages to be ported for Chromium, chances are it will also get to Opera Blink without major complications to avoid Opera paying to distribute the Flash plugin in Pepper like Chrome does.
As I have been using the nightly branch of Chromium on Windows, it was already obvious to me why the hell the Youtube player in flash was black and the pages made with the flash player did not load me as they should. In the rest of things, I have no complaints except in the rendering of the pages, something that will be corrected in the beta and stable branch of the Chromium (and Chrome) community builds.
After all, an excellent move by Google.
Well, I have been using chrome for ubuntu, for a good season, Chromiun, gave me some horrible problems with flash, besides that it was stalling in flash 11.2, while with chrome I am now 12.xxxx.
The truth blows me that the nsa enters to look inside me, the porn that there is is healthy, hahahahaha.
Now seriously, that's a shame, but I have to admit that flash seems like a heavy old thing to me and a nest of computer security holes.
Let's see if we all make the jump to html5.
A greeting.
The MPAA has already joined the W3C, so that's good news for Netflix and those paid streaming sites that use plugins like Silverlight (too bad Moonlight is dead and Pipelight only works well in Firefox and forces you to use Wine).
Oh! wait for lightspark to stop being experimental.
How good is lightspark? The truth is that flashplayer has me fed up with its huge consumption of resources, I want to change it now that I am in Arch.
Thank you
**** How to install the Flash plugin for the Chromium web browser on Lubuntu 12.04 ****
+ We close Chromium if it is open
+ Let's go to get.adobe.com/es/flashplayer/
+ Download the version .tar.gz pe to the desktop
+ We extract the file libflashplayer.so pe on the same desktop (the rest is not necessary)
+ We copy it
+ We run gksu pcmanfm
+ Let's go to / usr / lib / chromium-browser / plugins
+ We paste the file there
+ We close the open windows
+ We removed the temporary files from the desktop
Fact!
We can now open Chromium and watch videos, etc. that use Flash.

Now Lubuntu (version 14.04) comes with Firefox (well done). The steps above are valid. The only thing to change is the folder where libflashplayer.so is pasted. It is in / usr / lib / firefox-addons / plugins (although it can also be found in /home/usuario/.mozilla/firefox/numerosyletras.default/plugins).
I hope the improvements to shumway are enough by now.
To install chrome pepperflash on debian use the following command:
sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree chromium
When there is finally a complete alternative to Adobe's p… flash player, many of us will toast.
This m…. lasts too long
Thank you thank you very much
I hope they give good free software options: 3
Well, right now I am supposed to stop using chromium.
Greetings.
