I am guessing ~1 month to have most of the stuff working on the Mac. @Leo – I would say one has to write large portions of code to make it work for the Mac.

In Qt3 there was a nsplugin extension which offered the ability to run Qt inside Mozilla. Any thoughts how much work this would require to port it to Qt4? I looked a bit at the code, but its pretty hairy platform dependent and I could not see anything about Mac (and I'm on Mac...)

As for gnash, I intend to test it out soon. @Livio: If flash crashes, everything goes down with it :-) No work is being done to move Flash to a separate process AFAIK. @Karellen : Agree with you; most of the pain is caused by Flash being closed source and it is hard to guess what actually Flash is doing.

I have such conflicting emotions. 1) That's awesome! Thanks so much for figuring all that crap out, and the effort to get it to work. 2) Yuck! No-one should ever have to wade through that amount of bogosity to get stuff to work properly. 3) Wouldn't the time be better spent improving Gnash? Number (1) is definitely the most prominent here. Even though I don't use proprietary crap (and pretty much anything from Adobe for Linux really does deserve the moniker "crap") on my system, it's awesome in general for other people who don't particularly care about "free", but still want to use Linux and have things Just Work(tm). Try not to let (2) and (3) (especially 3) take away from that too much. Thanks. Wow. I have such conflicting emotions.

About time they opened this beast up to really keep Silverlight at bay. Staggering the amount of work one closed source plugin can cause.
