It seems the rumors are true. Google is working together with Adobe on integrating the Flash experience in Google Chrome’s developer channel.

From the official Chromium Blog:

“We believe this initiative will help our users in the following ways:

* When users download Chrome, they will also receive the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. There will be no need to install Flash Player separately.

* Users will automatically receive updates related to Flash Player using Google Chrome’s auto-update mechanism. This eliminates the need to manually download separate updates and reduces the security risk of using outdated versions.

* With Adobe’s help, we plan to further protect users by extending Chrome’s “sandbox” to web pages with Flash content.”
