Right now I am proper confused....
Google Chrome dl'd straight from them (they at least provide a .deb of
their latest n greatest) still wants to use shockwave flash plugin not
adobe's as i thought one out of chrome or chromium did!

I still cant find shockwave / gnash / swf to remove it, unable to use
vlc or totem as the plugin (when enabled in firefox) is youtube et al
unusable for us linuxers now?

Sorry just confused now???
