No!!! I want to download chrome dev to get dev version of libpepperflash or whatever it is called now and add it to chromium.
Also DO pre "stable" channels add repository auto?*
If not what is the repository?

Warning
You want to install an edge plug-in. This answer is technically correct, but it will, in all probability, break packages that auto-install the pepper plug-in in chromium. So, use at the cost of putting your system in an inconsistent state.
Of course I assume you installed chromuim from dev channel
to install libpepperflash on chromium, open your terminal and write the following:
chromium-browser --ppapi-flash-path=/opt/google/chrome*/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=11.3.31.323
To always have the correct Flash Player version in Chromium:
open your profile
vi ~/.profile
add this to the end:
export PEPPER_FLASH_VERSION=$(grep '"version":' /opt/google/chrome*/PepperFlash/manifest.json| grep -Po '(?<=version": ")(?:\d|\.)*')
Now open chromium settings:
sudo vi /etc/chromium-browser/default
And replace CHROMIUM_FLAGS="" with the following:
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--ppapi-flash-path=/opt/google/chrome*/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=$PEPPER_FLASH_VERSION"
Pepper Flash is available through a PPA for Precise, Quantal, Saucy, and Trusty (although Trusty will have this package in the default repos).
See https://launchpad.net/~skunk/+archive/pepper-flash for installation instructions.
Short version of the instructions:
The following adds the PPA and installs the Pepper Flash Player:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:skunk/pepper-flash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pepflashplugin-installer
Now, you need to tell Chromium to use this version of the Flash Player. To do that, open up /etc/chromium-browser/default (something like sudo nano /etc/chromium-browser/default or sudo gedit /etc/chromium-browser/default
), and on a new line at the end of the file, add the following line:
/usr/lib/pepflashplugin-installer/pepflashplayer.sh
Save and close the file, and run Chromium as normal. If you go to about:plugins, you should see it's using Flash 12.x.x.xx.
