When a Mint user downloads the 64-bit Chrome browser, Flash doesn't just work. The person has to go through several steps to make Flash work.
If someone installs the regular version of Mint (the with-codec version), the user could listen to MP3s and watch DVDs, without having to install codecs). In keeping with making Mint work as simply as possible, may I suggest somehow making Flash just work if the user chooses to install 64-bit Chrome.
If you respond, "Well, that's impossible," may I suggest having 64-bit Chrome installed by default on 64-bit Mint with the Flash player just working then?

Re: Somehow automatically include Flash into 64-bit Chrome
It's already done only you have to install chromium-browser from the synaptic package manager or the terminal using apt-get.
Chromium-browser comes with all the codec already configured and is almost Identical to Chrome.
give it a try.

kc1di,
Thanks for your reply. chromium-browser does already come with built-in Flash support, but I wish the same thing with chrome 64-bit in Mint.
I have installed chromium-browser through the Package Manager, but sometimes I both browsers running at the same time. In other words, I would still need/want to use chrome.

Somehow automatically include Flash into 64-bit Chrome
when i installed chrome, it gave me error messages when i tried to play youtube or any flash clips. it kept indicating that flash was disabled. i found out that mint included flash that was outdated, and conflicting chrome. thru software library i installed the adobe flash package and chrome worked well.
