Adobe Makes Flash on GNU/Linux Chrome-Only

Posted by Unknown on from the firefox-users-storm-headquarters dept.

ekimd writes "Adobe has anounced their plans to abandon future updates of their Flash player for Linux. Partnering with Google, after the release of 11.2, 'the Flash Player browser plugin for Linux will only be available via the 'Pepper' API as part of the Google Chrome browser distribution and will no longer be available as a direct download from Adobe.' Viva la HTML 5!" And it appears that Mozilla won't be implementing Pepper anytime soon.

    Mozilla is not interested in or working on Pepper at this time. See the Chrome Pepper pages.

    Verdict: Google did it.

    They've killed Kenny! Bastards!
