Go figure. Maybe I can pass on Iceweasel all toghether now.
You can use flash on it, actually. Assuming you have flash for Iceweasel installed from debian-multimedia, do: # cd /opt/google/chrome # mkdir plugins # cd plugins # ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so Then, start Chrome by issuing: $ google-chrome --enable-plugins and Flash works!
