Not relevant to unix, but Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 is the same deal.
When pointing this out, it's also worth mentioning that for both Chrome
and Edge, the flash implementation is Adobe Flash, Google and Microsoft
have deals with Adobe to embed and rebuild it their code.
They didn't use the public spec and write their own implementation.
There are some free software projects that have tried to do so like Gnash.
A noteworthy contrast if anyone worries about compatibility.
