I recently moved to Chromium after years with Iceweasel mainly as I use maps a lot and they definitely work better in Chromium but it seems faster all round. The only remaining problem is flash. I installed the pepperflashplugin which seems to install despite an error message, apt-cache shows it installed but running the update gives the following message and running chromium from a terminal says the plugin cannot be loaded and checking /usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree all that is in it is pubkey-google.txt
Checking Debian bugs seem to indicate (16th March) that this was fixed but it looks to still be a problem.
Any solutions available. or am I just doing something wrong.
update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install

I suppose a better solution would be for any decent websites to dump flash given it's constant drip feed of vulnerabilities.

Thanks for the link. I had already found my own solution, as pepperflash works on my desktop I just replaced the /usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree folder on my laptop with a copy of the one from my desktop and it seems to work ok.
It looks like Google added SHA256 before 17th March it is an outstanding Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=818540
