> (Note: Pepper Flash works perfectly well with Chromium, too, so you can have your free cake with your non-free PPAPI plugin if you want it.)

Except there is no *legal* way to get the pepper Flash plugin without installing Chrome, which makes it sort of irrelevant that you don't need Chrome to run it...

You can install Chrome, build Chromium, then use the latter with the former's plugin. Works fine and lets you hack all of it except the non-free plugin (though obviously there are changes you cannot make to PPAPI without breaking the plugin).
