It seems¹ that at least for Chromium you have to get some plugins from an external source: "(...) Chromium implements a similar feature set as Chrome, but lacks built-in automatic updates, built-in PDF reader and built-in Flash player, as well as Google branding and has a blue-colored logo instead of the multicolored Google logo." > When I hit the 'update plugin' it sent me to adobes site to download the > updated flash player. That's also what Firefox does, it tells you about the installed plugins and their versions and what need to be updated. > Now I already have the debian "flashplugin-nonfree" installed, so what > is up with this.

AFAIK, "flashplugin-nonfree" does not automatically update the plugin for you, it needs from manual interactiaon as explained here². > Does Chromium actually have flashplayer built in?
