As far as I can tell, flash player isn't required for Chrome. I removed
flash-plugin-11.2.202.350-release.x86_64 and went to Adobe's site. The
test for shockwave player fails
(http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/) but the test for flash itself
works (https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/), saying "You have
version 13,0,0,206 installed."
According to Adobe, Chrome for Linux has flash built in:

$ rpm -qa |grep chrome
google-chrome-stable-34.0.1847.132-1.x86_64
You are correct. Chrome has a flashplayer builtin. If one uses chrome://plugins as the
URL and has the Adobe plugin installed, as I do, they would see something like this.
Adobe Flash Player (2 files) - Version: 11.2 r202
Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202

Note that I have the builtin player (libpepflashplayer.so) disabled at the moment since
there is a problem when using that with mlb.com live games.
