Install Pepper Flash an Adobe alternative for Chromium in Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty/15.04 Vivid/Linux Mint 17/other Ubuntu derivatives

Pepper Flash Player is maintained by Google, and is newer than Adobe Flash Player. Adobe currently still provides security fixes for Adobe Flash Player. Google provides newer features in Pepper Flash Player. Pepper Flash Player can currently only be used with Chromium (and with Chrome). Users can choose between Adobe Flash Player and Pepper Flash Player by installing the corresponding Debian package. Both packages will co-exist for some time, until Adobe finally ends security support for the Adobe Flash Player. Pepper Flash Player uses a different interface with the browser than Adobe Flash Player, so it doesn't fit in the mechanism of "alternatives" (flash-mozilla.so). When both are installed on one system, then Chromium you can disable one of them by going to "chrome://plugins" address (without quotes) and expand details to enable disable plugins.
