Google Chrome comes with its own adobe flash player built in. I
suppose Google Chromium comes without it.

What is exactly your plan with the various versions of flash? Will you
install the various versions one by one, and then uninstall it to move
on to the next?


For this kind of development tests, the usual approach is to use
virtual machines. Perhaps you want to give the free VirtualBox a try:
