Another option is to install Google Chrome and get more recent versions of
Flash provided for you by Google. As far as I know, Google made an agreement
with Adobe to allow Google to support Flash on linux - I'm willing to be
corrected on this if someone has a source that negates this premise.
But yes, I agree that Flash is a hell hole of security flaws and problems. I
think most sites are starting to migrate to "HTML5", including some online game
companies - hopefully we won't need Flash in the future.
