I am having lot of prbelom with this version relating to Flash. about:plugins shows 2 files for Flash player. When both are enabled, I am unable to play any YouTube videos, etc. When I disable the Pepper Flash version I am able to play videos, but lot of pages using flash become unresponsive. YouTube too becomes unresponsive many times.Hope this gets fixed in next release.
