Someone should clarify that chromium post 35 has switched to the Pepper API for its plugin format. I don't recall if PepperFlash has been ported to FreeBSD yet, but I doubt it. If it helps, I made a custom port of chromium 35.0.1916.153 for work that supports flash. It isn't hard to make, although I'd have to ask my employer for permission to release it, unfortunately. (In reply to Timothy Beyer from comment #1) I did some background research for this issue, and found an article reporting Firefox will continue to support flash, but in a limited manner (starting early 2017). All other plugin support appears to be ending March 2017: http://www.pcworld.com/article/3098439/internet/firefox-will-start-blocking-flash-content-next-month.html Furthermore, it appears Chrome has ended all NPAPI support in favor of PPAPI plugins, with mention of a PPAPI version of Flash: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/6213033?hl=en Fixed in r51357. |
