Out of curiosity, what's that?

If it's 'fully functional in-browser Flash interpreter', one neat hack
involve extracting the Google-written proprietary flash interpreter from
Chrome ('pepperflashplugin-nonfree') and inserting it into Chromium.
This has been an ideal workaround for several years -- and avoids
needing to use the horrible, buggy, security-destroying Adobe Flash
interpreter & plug-in.

I just read that, as of May 2015, pepperflashplugin-nonfree is
'deprecated' (according to Canonical, if you believe them) in favor of
an official, maintained, one-step package called adobe-flashplugin,
which is said to work in both Firefox and Chromium (and derivatives).

...and which appears to refer to this new-ish (revived?) thing from
Adobe:

(Personally, I'd have a lot more faith in Google's Pepperflash.)

Easy to fix.  Just remove Windows.  ;->

But whatever works for you is great.
