Doesn't Google bundle a version of flash with their browser?=A0 Or i= s that something that's coming in the future?

I had flash crashing a lot on my machine, and just disabled hardware acc= eleration in the settings to fix it.

I thought I'd report back that while Flash continues to crash on this machine only even with updates to both Firefox & adobe-flash, I tried Google Chrome this morning and it works perfectly. I appears the root
cause of this problem would be Firefox, not Flash or nvidia-drivers,
and I once again have a solution for watching Flash-based media, at
least for the short term.

My thinking at this point is that Google is going to drive a solution
that keeps YouTube users happy. I doubt long-term they'll let Adobe, a<= br> much smaller company, control their future... :-)

Cheers,
Mark
