It’s just data
Mads Ager: this is the first Chrome beta that features initial integration of the Adobe Flash Player plug-in with Chrome, so that you can browse a rich, dynamic web with added security and stability
When will Google Chrome bundle Moonlight?
Put differently, will Adobe Flash in Chrome prove to be less un-reliable?
For me at least, Flash fails - usually more than once - every single day. I have to kill off all instances of the web browser, just in the hope Flash will work next time (or - more often - just ignore anything Flash-based). I associate Flash with constant failures (and often very badly done “kewl” user interface gizmos).
The choice of Steve Jobs to omit Flash from iProducts - in context - seems entirely justified, and perhaps even noble.
Will the Chrome folk reject Flash if it proves too unreliable? Will they measure?

Posted by notgonnahappen atI’m sort thinking along the same lines as notgonnahappen above, but I hope we don’t get a java runtime built-in. I don’t like the direction any of this is headed.
Posted by Scott Johnson atPeople are all (mostly; in the mainstream Windows space, you know?) going to get flash, anyway, so it seems a logical choice.
At the very least, they sound like they’re working with Adobe to maybe improve Flash.
Myself... Flash doesn’t load for more than a few seconds in Chrome, for whatever reason (I think MySql or something equally bizarre is interfering), so I have to rely on HTML5 YouTube or load up Firefox.
