    Chrome has PepperFlash, which is maintained by Google and updated quicker than the standard Adobe Flash. you can also just restart your browser to update Flash, without having to go through a big 'jump through hoops' install process that Adobe has for it's standard plugins.

    Sucks they had to do it, but I can understand why. Can't help but think it would have made more sense to implement a 'click to flash' functionality by default instead of disabling it altogether like this.

      The annoying thing, to me, is that then players like Amazon's Instant Video player will actually have a pop-up urging you to switch browsers and use Silverlight, even if PepperFlash has never given me problems and Silverlight has been, well, an endless parade of problems for me.

        Wow. Really? That sucks. When I do watch Amazon, it's always on a device, like Roku, so I've never noticed the issue.

        Recommending Silverlight is pretty bad.
