Which flash player is best?

[MikeHunt79]

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.1 Netbook distro, and am unsure which flash player to use, I'm using a pretty low spec netbook so which one will work best for watching youtube?

It's entirely subjective...

The Adobe plugin will probably cover more websites, though whether you'd come across any that don't work with the other two i sincerely doubt. The other two are open source though. It also depends what you're using it for, if just Youtube then look at using HTML5 or Minitube... but as for resource usage, which probably effects you most, i haven't a clue - sorry.

I see, so there is no best but each one has it's own best bits?

I don't really play flash games, so I think I'll give minitube a go, I've not heard of it before but it seems to be exactly what I'm after - thanks!

In my experience the official (proprietary) version gives the best performance and has the least problems playing any flash versions.

I've always used flashplugin-installer package from apt so I assume it's the top one.
