Here's the official Ubuntu position: The Netscape Plugin API feature
can not be supported securely, so it has to go. Preventing attacks wins
over features. Upstream explicitly and intentionally has removed NPAPI
because it is insecure by design. Additionally, many remote-execution

Chromium is not in "main", i.e. it's officially unsupported by
Canonical. Formally, only approved Ubuntu community members (MOTUs)
support chromium in Ubuntu, while Canonical does not guarantee any
support at all.
That's the formal aspect at least. In practice, it seems like a

There is no way (or at least no way that does not involve forking
chromium and quite a lot of coding work) to get chromium to work with
Adobe Flash and have no security issues at the same time. Ubuntu decided
