Letting flash run outside the browser sandbox, what could go wrong?


> Letting flash run outside the browser sandbox, what could go wrong?

It would be like any other desktop application. You're running code of which you presumably know and trust the provenance. It's not like a malware Flash ad written by someone who found a security hole in the Flash player, that is loaded into a random web page by an unsuspecting user.


Except on Chrome, Flash always ran outside the sandbox, AFAIK.


'Ran outside the sandbox on everything other than Chrome', or 'on Chrome, Flash ran outside the sandbox'? Your comment seems a little ambiguous to me.
