Chromium Linux now has flash support out of the box

Although it was already possible to enable Flash support in Chromium quite easily, the developers have now implemented the Flash player out of the box so you won't have to configure anything after installing it.

The Flash issues (emphases on 64bit) on Linux are often quite simple to bypass, especially since Adobe released the native 64bit browser plugins for Linux. But when it comes to linking these extensions to any given browser there's often more to it than you'd expect.

This was also the case with the Chromium browser, although it's still in constant development and hasn't even left the Alpha stages the browser gained a pretty big following on Linux as well as on Windows. But even though there were tons of tutorials guiding you through the process of enabling Flash in you vanilla Chromium build these instructions managed to fail once or twice but that's all history now. A fresh upgrade yesterday enabled Flash support out of the box, no configurations required! yay!

This kind of makes me wonder why exactly this browser is still in Alpha stages, it's probably more stable and usable than most browsers on the market right now, so developers... get this thing rolled into beta already. What's the sport about releasing a beta that's bug free.. we want to squash these suckers!

I enjoy using Chromium and I know this browser will certainly grow a massive user base on the Linux platform, great job guys!
