- keep it and use Flashblock addon (firefox)
- use Gnash or other open-source version (not very useful)
- use 32-bit plugin with nspluginwrapper
- use 32-bit plugin with 32-bit browser
- give up Flash
- ignore the risk and just keep using it

Any others I missed?

Use opera with the 32bit plugin. Opera has its own pluginwrapper.

Thanks.

I went for
* use 32-bit plugin with nspluginwrapper

All you need to do is install nspluginwrapper-flash package from AUR.
maybe this package can be Pushed in repos and carried as replacement
for flashplugin 64bit


[1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6232


Can this package be in

i recently tried a new flash plugin that was completely OSS, that had
declared itself beta. unfortunately the name of it escapes me at the
moment. i couldn't get it working quite right but i didn't put a lot
of time into it either. from around the net the consensus was it
looked very promising as an Adobe replacement.

It looks promising, however it crashed my machine without any warning
and I had to reboot the machine the hard way. Just so you know and don't
try it while doing anything important.

Lightspark can't play YouTube videos and Samorost 1 and 2 (from The
Humble Indie Bundle) and it needs pulseaudio (yet another one of those
senseless, resource-wasting daemons).

YouTube and Samorost 1 and 2 are the only reasons for me for using
Flash.

The HTML5 version of YouTube doesn't work for me, too.
