    I have read, in more than one place, that Chrome is slowing doing away with Flash support and trying to push sites into using HTML5.  The latest Flash update did away with keeping the "Flash Enabled" flag set for individual web sites, forcing you to re-enable it every time you start Chrome.  From what I have read, within the next few updates, they are not going to allow the option to stay active for the entire session and will require you to re-enable it for each use. I am not sure exactly what "each use" means.  Does that mean each shot, each view change or what?  In any case, it seems Chrome and flash are parting ways in the foreseeable future.

    Are there any plans, by WGT, to go to HTML5 or do all of the Chrome users need to start shopping for a new browser?  It is my understanding that the reason for the switch to HTML5 is that it is a far more secure platform than Flash.  I, myself, can not address that issue in a meaningful way except to say that Flash does do a lot of updates to fix security problems.

    Anyway, a number of players, including myself, who have been playing a long time are getting concerned about this issue.  Could we get some guidance about what we should do?
