Chromium and Plugins

Well it seems that Chromium reports itself as a Windows browser, so that lets you get the Windows files for the plugins. Good news? Almost. It seems that while the plugins install (I tried Flash and Authorware), they do not work. Now I can’t tell if the “not working” has more to do with the browser or the WINE wrapper not being “ready” (I know not of what I speak here… I’m guessing) to run auxiliary files. 

I would upload screen shots, but the uploader in WP seems not to want to play – I might update this post with those shots later.

It certainly is impressive – for a 0.9.0 release, this might really be a booming niche product for Codeweavers – hopefully they are listening/reading.
