Well, I did grab a version 9 of the flash player, packaged it up with squash but unfortunately Chromium is committed to continuously warn it's users that the plugin is old and prompts to allow it's use, every frustratingly single time you attempt to use it. chromium used to be my favorite browser, but because of this issue it's gone, it's history....
Since several folks use minefield, I gave it a try. Am fairly happy there was no popup menus due to an old version of a plugin, however there wsa no sound either..
So currently I'm using Minefield4 with flashplayer10, and am surprised that they work quite well together.
