Okay; that's a point although it wouldn't require removing it. This can be
solved by changing the default web page to somewhere else (or to perhaps
nowhere.) A bug can be filed so that the appropriate changes could be made.
Oh, I see, you are most likely right. It's under 'epiphany-browser' in the
repo.
I believe we're talking here about "webbrowser", formerly known as
"epiphany", the own webbrowser of the gnome project.
I'm not quite sure but if you think about it, there is actually now way that
gnash can just "forward" the execution of the swf code since then gnash
itself would not be neccessary and the OS could just understand the code on
its own.
So gnash has to be some kind of translater or pipe and it
Webbrowser-app was part of Unity and Ubuntu Touch, Canonicals convergence

find it under system/default applications either. Then again, it

That's a false comparison. If I use the virtual windows machine for doing my

I agree that the problem with JavaScript is a much bigger issue than the start

Running a proprietary game in a free software emulator doesn't address the
freedom issue either. An emulator doesn't give you the ability or legal right
to modify and
FYI, you can skip step 1 by simply using bash's command substitution like so:

Thanks, please clarify, running a swf game in gnash is similar to running a

Thanks.
If that's a problem, and I tend to agree that it is, then not sending people
to Google is not the solution. After all, almost the entirety of the Web has
proprietary JavaScript on it, even if it's optional, and every modern Web
browser executes that JavaScript code automatically. Let's take
