Lots of sites are picky about your flash version. The chrome flash has the windows-ish version and works for lots of sites. While some sites work on the more traditional flash plugin with the linux version number. Other sites can be made to work by using hexedit and putting the windows version number where the linux version number was. And then there's the HAL stuff for hulu and other quirks.
Adobe Flash was discontinued for a long time for Linux users outside Pepper Flash Chrome/Chromium plug-in, and development on it only resumed about a year and a half ago or so as far as I remember, which explains why the version numbers are different.
@Shadow_7, what files would need to be edited? Just wondering for reference, I have no intentions of installing the Flash plugin on my netbook.
You would hexedit the libflashplayer.so file. Or was it libflashplugin.so? It's been so long since I did anything flash. Once hulu stopped having free content, I had no need for it.
