Just noticed that Adobe says 11.2 will be the last version to target Linux as a supported platform but security backports will be provided

hello drb

yes, flash is dead, but who wants the ugly flashplayer anyway?   HTML5 ftw!

Thanks, I especially appreciate the steps written down.

It's been that way for years. Eventually, Linux users will need to switch to Chrome/chromium and use the built-in Pepper Flash plugin, or they will need to find a hack to allow a newer version of Flash in Firefox-bsed browsers.
For example, freshplayerplugin allows you to run Pepper Flash in Firefox, and there's also the pipelight plugin that allows Windows Flash plugin to run in your browser through wine hackery.
Hopefully, HTML5 will be far more pervasive by the time Flash 11 reaches EOL.

Yes, it will, and it finally will bring us DRM for Linux.

OK, is this making it impossible to look at flash-based sites on Internet with Linux in the future?

DRM? HTML5?

The only way I look at tv is on svt-play and similar streaming tv, that's flash  , I use youtube for searching and finding old songs, actors and a lot more that I can't find somewhere else  .

If this is going to be a problem I have to use something else than Linux on my tv-computer 

Or am I wrong, please tell me?

Read the post I made in this thread previously. As for youtube, they are moving away from Flash and towards an html5 future. Firefox 40 now defaults to using html5 on youtube if it's available.

I do have iceweasel 40.0 and I did check some old youtube-movies and yes they are played with html5-player, that’s good
