I run a lot of concurrent browsers as a tester. For various reasons, I use Chromium as one of these browsers.
Chromium doesn't ship with the Pepper Flash Plugin as that's part of the Google Chrome packag which means a lot of websites break because they still rely on Flash. The officially recommended way to set up Flash for Chromium is to install the Adobe Flash Player. However, if you don't think it's necessary to install another Adobe product onto your machine, it's possible to load the plugin from the Google Chrome app into Chromium.
There are two primary ways of starting Chromium with Flash:
- Use an AppleScript application (my preferred method)
- Use a bash shell script
I recommend using the AppleScript application as this means it will appear in Spotlight and Alfred searches.
Unzip the ChromiumFlash.app: unzip ChromiumFlash.app.zip
Copy the ChromiumFlash.app file to either /Applications or ~/Applications: cp ChromiumFlash.app /Applications
Open ChromiumFlash!
