Thanks for the tips but I want to completely remove it. Tried to apt-get remove and purge "adobe-flashplayer" but instead APT tried to install 110Mb worth of archives. Couldn't figure out why.

Reason why you wish to fully get rid of it? I doubt you'll gain much space on your machine by removing it.

Just curious. But zwer listed how to properly remove the right lib earlier, btw.

I tried zwer's method, and got: "E: Couldn't find package libflashplayer". There is however a package called "adobe-flashplayer", but if you try to remove that one APT tries to install 110Mb worth of packages :S See this: http://pastebin.org/301058 for the output. The most important part is in the beginning and in the end.

I have a personal project to remove as many of the proprietary components on the N900 as possible without making the phone defunct

Nokia sells the n900 as a device with full browser support. instead of support one option there should be:

silverlight support
html 5 support
flash 10.1 support
full java support

Non of these are supported. More and more websites are starting to upgrade to new formats and versions and only thing we hear is that we wont get it from nokia. what good is an internet tablet when you miss half of the internet functionalities

It's not a package as far as I know, it all comes bundled with Maemo 5 img... You can remove it by closing all browser instances (killall as previously mentioned will do that) and issuing:

Code:

rm /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Full browser is the opposite of mobile/WAP browser. It was never hinted it could run farmville.

I know some of you are disappointed at the browser that comes with N900 and I have to say that at this point my feeling is this: You are out of your skulls.

An application is more than the sum of the checkboxes on the box. If it had all those but was slow as heck you'd scream too. (Hello Fennec)

To use the old tired car analogy, just because it has leather seats doesn't mean it's a nice car. IMO we wouldn't have this discussion if the browser didn't work right.

MicroB is my second favorite browser ever after desktop Firefox. Sure, it could have some improvement, everything could.

But really. Silverlight?

I run a WebGL blog in my copious spare time, so here's a list of N900-compatible WebGL pages that I spent this evening putting together...

Cheers,

That HTML5 is going to work well on MeeGo is more obvious than that its going to work well in Safari.

Why are you all complaining that html5 video is not working on the N900 yet? It does work and has been working since PR1.2RC as far as I can tell. Go to youtube and enable html5 video: http://www.youtube.com/html5

Then find yourself a video that's html5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQp5l4-sfFA
