"Windows Flash is now inside a sandbox that’s as strong as Chrome’s native sandbox, and dramatically more robust than anything else available," Google boasted. That's especially bad since Windows XP is already severely lacking in the security department compared to Windows Vista, 7 and so on.

The previous NPAPI version couldn't work with the Chrome sandbox in Windows XP. Chrome is going to be the only browser to offer full Flash support in Windows 8 Metro mode.īut that's not all, the PPAPI Flash will also be able to take advantage of Chrome sandbox on Windows XP, another exclusive feature. Google has been working on this for a while, but it has been worth it. That comes with plenty of advantages, like better security, GPU acceleration and so on. Google Chrome 21 comes with the PPAPI version of Flash by default now.
