Merged two threads on the same subject, there are a couple of more, but they've fallen off the first page.

So how bad is this actually? Will using youtube and regular flash sites kill us with this? If it's a matter of staying away from dangerous sites. If it is I'm sticking with my 64 bit.

I do agree that HTML 5 should be adopted soon, and this only strengthens that viewpoint.

I am no fan of flash. I sometimes have it installed to view the random video link, but I usually disable the plugin in FF/Iceweasel.

Someone should kill flash.


Even surfing known sites can couse harm if there are malicious flash ads embedded. But the exploits are probably not written for 64bit Linux.

you know that the adobe flash player (32bit) + nspluginwrapper (this is the default setup) works properly on the new flash?

yay! (and yes, by working properly, it can display 720p youtube vids in fullscreen the flash clicky problem is gone)

At least we have a fix that doesn't require a installing a 32bit browser like the Windows 64 users.

I would resort to that if necessary, but in my experience nspluginwrapper has always been extremely buggy. Perhaps that was just in older versions? I can remember the browser crashing and flash thumbnails staying embedded in my desktop! Many times I would have to reload a page 3-4 times to get flash to load, etc. Since using the 64bit flash, Ive had no issues.

....when in fact there to my knowledge was NEVER a 10.1 beta, alpha or antyhing else for 64bit linux..

Actually, the 64bit flashplayer 10 was always in beta. It was never "officially" dubbed as a stable release.
