H.264 format used by streaming internet sources, such as videos from Vimeo, YouTube, and the iTunes Store, and by many others. Same goes for Chrome for Android based devices. Take a look at iPad / iPhone sales and it’s not a big deal for users. Robert O’Callahan questioned the creation of a parallel Pepper platform API.įlash is a bad idea for web. Many users thinks that Pepper was a bad idea.
Adobe will continue to provide security updates to non-Pepper distributions of Flash Player 11.2 on Linux for five years from its release.įlash Player will continue to support browsers using non-“Pepper” plug-in APIs on platforms other than Linux.Īs of Adobe AIR 3, Adobe has discontinued support for Adobe AIR for Linux operating systems. Google will begin distributing this new Pepper-based Flash Player as part of Chrome on all platforms, including Linux, later this year.įor Flash Player releases after 11.2, the Flash Player browser plug-in 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. The PPAPI, code-named “Pepper”, aims to provide a layer between the plug-in and browser that abstracts away differences between browser and operating system implementations.īecause of this work, Adobe has been able to partner with Google in providing a “Pepper” implementation of Flash Player for all x86/64 platforms supported by the Google Chrome browser. More On Pepper (ppapi – Pepper Plugin API)Īdobe has been working closely with Google to develop a single, modern API for hosting plug-ins within the browser. The only way to run flash on FreeBSD is via www/linux-f10-flashplugin10, www/linux-f10-flashplugin11, www/linux-f10-flashplugin9 ports based hacks. So this is going to be a problem for FreeBSD users. This wrapper also supports Adobe Acrobatplugin, RealPlayer plugin and more.
However, a software wrapper for running the Linux version of the plugin exists. The Adobe Flash plugin is not available for FreeBSD. One can safely assume that Adobe wants to kill Flash on Linux for all other browsers except Google Chrome. But, lots Linux users may wish to use flash player for Firefox outside Youtube. Personally, it won’t affect me as I do not watch many videos outside Youtube.
