Not that is not working is just that well I do not like the idea of double clicking, but my guess is that if the first one allows users to play games that use shockwave than it is worth it. Have not tested it so I really do not know what it does. My assumption is that it lets you open a SWF files instead of having to click on the webpage? Had wink installed a while back and it produced to three files. Speaking of Wink I wonder why it does not load anymore since I upgraded to ubuntu 8.04? hm strange.

Gnash is very unstable,that often crash the browser. Swfdec is a pain that I need to click on each flash to play.

I have installed Swfdec via Firefox Plugin Finder Service and I do not like it, now I cannot uninstal.... If i check in the synaptic it seems not installed (as I installed via Firefox and not via synaptic). What should I do? Thanks Ciao,

However, on Hardy, it seems like the plugin has gotten *less* stable on my AMD64 machine. In fact, it seems that just about every time I browse for more than a few minutes and go to a YouTube video, the plugin has already crashed. I'm forced to restart the browser and try again. This Swfdec option sounds interesting, and I think I'll give it a try if it's already fairly stable on YouTube. I’ve been using the Adobe nonfree plugin, simply for the YouTube support.

Oh and I see that you edit or is that censor comments, either post the comments or don't, people tend to get upset when you rewrite their words. Tom:
