This is probably not as critical anymore, since I believe Adobe's regular Flash plugin now runs sandboxed under SAfari and FF, but old habits die hard!
Also something to consider, as JCH2 pointed out, because of the inconsistent FreeSmug builds, there can be a delay in getting updated Flash versions which fix known vulnerabilities.

The MacUpdate link now appears to be pointing to the latest 32.xx

The v33.0.1750.blahblah version updates Flash to the only currently 'safe' version. Previous versions have a security hole being exploited in the wild. - - It might be a good idea to simply not use Flash on the Internet, or to at least use a Flash blocking extension by default.

hoping that it would just find it and load it. I put it in the same folder that it was normally stored in under the older FreeSMUG Chromium builds, which was
\Chromium.appContentsVersions30.0.1599.101[or whatever number]Chromium Framework.frameworkInternet Plug-InsPepperFlash
So it didn't load. So either it still requires some enabling in the compilation of the build, or maybe it's a setting in some plist file somewhere.
Anyone have any ideas anyone? Otherwise I was about to embark on a line by line comparison of the plist files between a known FreeSMUG build which had pepperflash working, and a build from chromium.woolyss.com (which doesn't have pepperflash). I'm really hoping it's not a compile thing, which as has been noted, is quite an undertaking.
So, question, was the only difference between the FreeSmug builds that used to be available and the builds from chromium.woolyss.com, is the inclusion of pepperflash?? (build numbers and version numbers aside of course, in other words, given the same branch/build number of code, was that the basic difference?)

Do NOT have Flash built in, like the FreeSMUG builds do (or use to). This is unfortunate, because I avoided installing the regular OS X Flash system wide plug in, using Chromium for the few times I needed Flash.

1. Download the Maxthon app from MU but don't open it
yet.
2. Go to Application Support, find the Chromium folder.
3. Change the name of that folder to "Maxthon."
4. Now open Maxthon from your Applications folder.
Maxthon will open with all your Chromium data intact.
5. Find the Chrome Web Store online using Maxthon and
locate the 1Password 4 beta there. Install it. Be sure
to delete any other version of 1P you may have already
installed.
6. Reopen Maxthon.
To go back to Chromium just follow the process in reverse. I myself have been using Maxthon for several months and consider it superior to either Chromium or Chrome. And it has no commercial connection to Google.

What are the advantages to switching, besides 64-bit, which is not really an advantage for me. And an open source app which I can see as both a plus and a minus but mostly a plus. Sometimes it's nice to have the backing of a corporation with bottomless pockets but you usually give up a lot of control for that.
I can't find much reason to switch even though I've had the last 3 versions (updated daily?) installed now.
Thanks in advance.

P.S. I notice the version numbers for Chromium are the same as they are for Chrome! Can anyone explain that plz?

Additionally, it often asks me twice - in immediate succession - for permission to use passwords, then doesn't use them.
+4
each time I update Chromium Lion asks me for each single password from the keychain if it is allowed that chromium access the keychain for password xyz; I can choose between yes, no, everytime yes. But it accesses 30 passwords so the effort is tasteless ... any idea what I should change or how to stop this?
many thanks

Strange! On the plugin page it doesn't show any Flash plugin.
Am I supposed to install something else, like the standard Flash player?
