[Sugar-devel] Flash on Browse Activity - Ubuntu

Hello!

Please report bugs for the webkit2 version of browse!  It is in 
development, and lots of things are not right (lack of long-press to 
open palette, the back button palette).

Note the the webkit2 version of browse specifically requires WebKit2 
2.11.X or higher.  Saddly, 2.12 has not been released, so there is no 
stable webkit2 version that browse is built to run against.

Anyway, WebKit2 uses a multiprocess model.  And this extends to the 
plugins running in a seperate process, so that it supports Gtk2, Gtk3 
and every other type of plugin.

Thanks,
Sam
