So, both adobe flash and pepper flash get security updates (not sure how long adobe will fix security problems in normal flash for), pepper flash gets new features and normal updates whereas flash-plugin is EOL and no new features will be added. PPAPI is not compatible with NPAPI so someone write an abstraction to allow it to work on firefox or other things. Somehow google convinced abode to work with them on adding new features to the PPAPI flash plugin, so it gets new features, this is what you get with pepper flash. Google however has PPAPI which is what chrome uses. They use different APIs for interaction, adobe flash uses NPAPI (netscape API) which was dumped by adobe and they no longer add new features to it, it's security updates only.
