It makes no changes to binary code - it basically sets up preference files. The rpi-chromium-mods package, in addition to adding Flash, installs uBlock origin and h264ify, customises some aspects of the appearance of the browser (such as use of the openbox window theme), selects DuckDuckGo as the default search engine and applies a few command-line flags which may slightly improve performance. Hardware-accelerated video is not supplied by the rpi-chromium-mods package, it is built into the Chromium binary supplied in the modified chromium-browser package. OK, but doesn't that also mean, that you only get HW accelerated video in chromium if you also install flash (both provided by the same package, chromium-mods)? There are no open-source violations involved, and certainly no legal issues.

This is going to become the default way Scratch is run at some point in the future, so if you want to use Scratch, you may need to overcome your dislike of Flash - or to prevail upon the team at MIT to change their mind.

The library file will be installed on all versions of the Pi by an update of rpi-chromium-mods, but the browser startup script does not supply the necessary flags for Chromium to use it when run on Pi 1 or Pi 0, so the file will never be accessed on those platforms.įor reference, the reason for the addition of Flash is that Scratch version 2.0 is Flash-based and cannot be run in any other fashion at present, and we have been under a lot of pressure to support the new version of Scratch. I would suggest you also remove the associated CHROMIUM_FLAGS in the /usr/bin/chromium-browser startup script, or Chromium may hang when attempting to load a non-existent Flash library when sites try to use it. If you really don't want it on your system, just delete the file /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libpepflashplayer.so - that is the sole Flash file installed. But the library is not loaded until a website requests it, and is blocked from executing by default unless the user enables it. It's included as part of a generic package called rpi-chromium-mods, so you can't really disable its installation without losing various other bits of useful functionality.
