Comment 211 for bug 192888

I've been using nspluginwrapper for Flash for quite a long time now, and it has always been much less annoying to have just the plugin crash than the whole browser. I take the view that proprietary binary blobs are almost as bad in the browser as in the kernel, so any step to uncouple them is good IMO. (Obviously it would be best if the Flash plugin were made open source and/or Flash itself opened up, but that's up to Adobe.)

BTW Conn, while your nspluginwrapper package works, I'm intrigued as to what exactly it does. Does it have special magic for the Flash plugin or does it work for others as well?
