How can I install PPAPI flash for Chromium?

If you think that Chromium can play mp4 HTML5 video by default in Debian, you're mistaken.

So many websites autoplay their videos that some people would consider that a feature.

But alas Chromium 73 on Debian Buster just played the MP4 HTML5 test video on this "HTML5 Video Test Page." It played all of the other videos too. They all played "out-of-the-box," i.e. with the default configuration.

Yes, even geek-oriented sites do that. I'd have thought CNet would know better, but I'm thinking I'll unsubscribe.

Since Stretch also has the same version, it should also now be able to play the formerly restricted codecs. But I can't find anything relevant in its changelog about codecs, mp4, ffmpeg, h.264, or html5.
