Why does Pepper Flash Plugin create lots of TCP connections?
If I load Chrome, and check netstat, withotut even going onto a site that uses flash, the flash plugin creates a lot of TCP connections. Is this normal? It seems odd to me:

If you run netstat with the -W option, most of them seem to be going to canonical??

Re: Why does Pepper Flash Plugin create lots of TCP connections?
Is there a viable alternative to pepper flash? I'm not sure I'm comfortable with it continually calling home to canonical.

Lightspark, gnash, shumway.. none work particularly brilliantly, and I don't think they're compatible with Chrom{e,ium}.

What switches are you using to generate that output?
CPU-optimized Linux-ck packages @ Repo-ck • AUR packages • Zsh and other configs

netstat -Wpt, p being the switch that shows the program name.
