Flash running on other browsers like firefox with no problem

Why do you need to run Flash? It is deprecated:

Starting from Chrome 76 and Firefox 69, Flash is disabled by default and browsers do not even show a prompt to activate Flash content. Users who want to play Flash content need to manually set a browser to prompt for Flash content, and then during each browser session enable Flash plugin for every site individually. Furthermore, browsers show warnings about the removal of Flash entirely after December 2020. Microsoft Edge based on Chromium will follow the same plan as Google Chrome.[47]

Google Chrome will block Flash plugin as "out of date" in January 2021 and eventually remove it from the source code.[48] Also in December 2020 Flash support will be completely removed from Firefox.[49] Apple will drop Flash Player support from Safari 14 alongside the release of macOS Big Sur.[50] In a move to further reduce the number of Flash Player installations, Adobe announced plans to add a "time bomb" to Flash to prevent existing installations past End-of-Life date, to prompt users to uninstall Flash, and to remove all existing download links for Flash installers.

There are still lots of games for flash.

Even so with Chromium phasing it out I'm not sure what you expect us to do about it. I don't think anyone here cares enough about Flash to continue trying to support it.

First question is, should it work or not?
In last "normal" chromium I used, it worked.
