No, you are probably wrong here. |

Chromium is not the problem, Flash is the problem. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Flash is a piece of shit that has never worked right and Adobe are a bunch of |
| 32 |
fools that cannot code properly or securely. I can comfortably say this based |
| 33 |
on long hard bitter experience by the entire Linux community. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
If you choose to use Flash, you get to put up with the resulting problems. |

Waste of time, won't fix anything. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Flash is a bundled binary and recompiling world will not recompile Flash. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Adobe fixing Flash is what will fix Flash. |
