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

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.
Hi Ed,
Just as a side issue to this, how do you get chrome to provide what
you have shown?
I know chrome has flash built in, and the adobe installer installs
the plugin in /usr/lib64, plus I have a link to the adobe plugin in
/usr/lib because the upstream 64-bit Firefox wants its plugins in
/usr/lib, what I can't account for is the 4th plugin.
If I use chrome://plugins in the browser I get the following
display (the following display is how the chrome output is represented
in Thunderbird as a result of a copy and paste, not how it is displayed
in chrome):
