Thanks for a nice writeup! Regarding "for a large company to do it would risk being sued by Adobe" - what do you know about "Pepper flash plugin", which was shipped with Chrome at some time? Back then I had an impression that it was an alternative implementation of flash player, but developed by Google.

I think Pepper was just the name of Google's extension API, and so Pepper Flash was just a (re)packaging of the flashplayer artefacts from Adobe. My memory of this was that it was pitched (to users) as a "safer" flash, since it could take advantage of Google's isolation/sandboxing features, but I don't have any special knowledge here: I just made a shittonne of flash stuff back in the day.
