chromium-pepperflash-plugin, citation from alienbob:
http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/chromiu ... nd-pepper/
Chromium works withe PPAPI plugins and therefore it is possible to extract the Flash plugin from Chrome and use it with Chromium. Check out this package (first install chromium, then chromium-pepperflash-plugin because the second package updates the chromium configuration defaults)

Test flash for your browser:

On my chromium browser flash is included. I am using google-chrome-stable built with update-chromium. Flash is not the case for my firefox version.

The difference between A and B might be understood from this thread:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... 175545018/
From my understanding chromium-56.0.2924.76-x86_64-1alien and chromium-pepperflash-plugin-24.0.0.194-x86_64-1alien work together. To you to judge.
