HTML5 is in the process of replacing Adobe Flash on the web anyway, and about time too. 
Not sure what to do about fixing Flash Player (although I may see something once I put effort into it), but this is a potential good workaround. |
thanks eschwartz. I've avoided installing Chrome because it gets so confusing using two different browsers. It's like, Which browser was I in when I favorited that site etc etc. . And anyway in the Synaptic Package Manager and the Ubuntu Software Center there is only Chromium (see screenshot from USC). Is installing Chromium the thing to do, or is there some way to install Chrome? And this is the first I've heard of the HTML 5 Video Player. And it was incredibly tempting to just click on the blue button (Request the HTML 5 Player). But I was reading a little about that and it seems to be a converter as well as a player and might be more than I need. Bottom line: I'm just not sure what to do. I've been trying to figure this one out for weeks. I think if Chromium will work, I'll just have to install that, but would welcome some more feedback on this before I do anything. Thanks.
