As I understand it Chromiunm no longer supports Adobe Flash (and/or other Adobe) video.
If you can - suggest you enjoy the less laggy and generally more advert_free version you see before they are dumped.
hi, thanks for the replys, im using chromium ,didnt know you can get chrome for linux and dont know how to get it, if you dont mind me quoting you 273.. ( suggest you enjoy the less laggy and generally more advert_free version you see before they are dumped. ).. i dont know what you mean there mate...i also use addblockplus on chromium and firefox so dont get any adds at all.... thanks again.
thanks, pepperflashplugin-nonfree in the software center isnt available in ububnu 12.4,tried it, it works in 14.04, but i dont want to use 14.04....cheers
You can install google chrome from the main site Google Chrome. Download the deb and double click it. Should open in software center. I used it when I had 12.04.
Sorry about misreading your initial post the first round, and suggesting something you tried....too much of a hurry.
jkirchner mate, you are a genius .... that worked brilliantly .... and its a fast browser too eh....never knew about chrome for ubuntu before... wish everybody else who has been trying to find a cure for this knew but i will spread the word...thanks and all the best.

I was referring to the HTML5 versions currently allowing you to block adverts. Somehow I can't see Google allowing that to work forever. I know those who are aware of AdBlock will likely always be a minority but I still thing when that minority becomes significant enough Google will work around it.
