I have been flash free for over a year now
here's something that I noticed:
in windows using internet explorer 10 withou flash EVERY single youtube video will play
in linux in firefox you have to use the /embed/ trick...
scumbag google
besides that, youtube and porn in mp4 I am pretty happy without flash
flash is like rebecca fox's pussy, you think you need it but all it gives you is virus

And for Chromium to use it, you need to launch it with "--ppapi-flash-path=/path/to/libpepflashplayer.so". On Gentoo you'd put that in "/etc/chromium/default".

Flash actually works fine in Firefox for me, albeit it isn't the latest version. (But they are pushing out security updates.) And I guess the video acceleration only works for NVIDIA GPUs? Can't say because that's all I use so I wouldn't know any different.
I think my Chromium is also using the NPAPI version.

Yeah what he said. Google Chrome does Flash perfectly fine, forget about the rest.

If you're using Google Chrome, yes. Acceleration works and CPU usage is low. Google took over Flash maintenance from Adobe on Linux, but that means that you have to use Chrome's PPAPI Flash plugin (comes by default with Chrome). The NPAPI plugin that you install in Firefox and other compatible browsers has been abandoned.
So if you're using Chrome, Flash is good. If you're on another browser, Flash is going to suck for you.
This happens to be the sole reason why I switched from Firefox to Chrome. Firefox is the better browser IMO, but Flash made me change camps.
