As mentioned separately, pepperflashplugin-nonfree (the PPAPI[1]
proprietary Google-written Flash player _for_ Google Chrome) works in
Chromium -- because after all, Google Chrome is just Chromium with a
bunch of dodgy proprietary bits tacked on.

Debian Project's page about that:
https://wiki.debian.org/PepperFlashPlayer/Installing


[1] PPAPI is a similar but different Google rewrite of the old NPAPI
plug-in interface. (The latter has been standard in Mozilla-family Web browsers,
but is being phased out starting 2013 as part of browser wrecking^W improvement.)
