Hi,

You should read this:
http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/02/adobe-and-google-partnering-for-flash-player-on-linux.html

It seems, they have agreed with each other, adobe gives support for
flash in chrome only, and kills slowly HTML5. Ahem. Yes. Also you need
to know that adobe, netflix and Microsoft wraps HTML5 video tags into
DRM..... even that videoplayback doesn't work. Hm, nice things, right?

Cheers,

Zoltan
