I hope either flash will die altogether or very few sites would use it 
for videos/games. Sadly many websites still use it though. When the 
pepper api through Chrome does become available, it will do so through 
Google Chrome and Chromium, Chromium of which will support it as soon as 
it is available (and will be in the Chromium ppa 
<https://launchpad.net/%7Echromium-daily>).
