If you want to see how many hacks needed to make nspluginviewer works in Konqueror, you can refer to Lubos Lunak's blog. http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3162 (Guess what? Opera is also not supported)

When something is badly engineered and closed source, you can only a hack to make it works. And this is the fault of those who implement the plugin.

Do you know that people with non-32 bit machine (e.g. AMD64) also got headache to enable flash in Firefox? (no 64-bit flash plugin so far) And they curse Adobe even more than us Konqueror users because of that.

I heard Adobe has released their swf spec, hopefully it will make Gnash/swfdec better and other browsers can utilize this to provide better flash.
