also, when i installed Solus GNOME, Chrome says that my chrome is managed by my Organization ... o.O I am not part of any organization
this is where it shows that I'm managed by my organization
and this is where it shows that I am not part of a organization
Bad packaging?
seems this problem exists in Vivaldi and other Chromium based browsers on Solus
Yes, that is the result of us pre-installing the chrome-gnome-shell extension, which enables you to install extensions via https://extensions.gnome.org - Without it, you'd have to jump through hoops to enable the functionality.
You can validate this by going to chrome://policy. You will notice the policy name is "ExtensionInstallForcelist" and the Policy value is gphhapmejobijbbhgpjhcjognlahblep;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx
gphhapmejobijbbhgpjhcjognlahblep is the extension ID for the Chrome GNOME Shell extension, which you can see via chrome://extensions
To be absolutely clear, we have no access to your data, we do not manage your account. Chromium-based browsers just do not differentiate between installs which have accounts that are actually part of a GSuite organization v.s. an extension simply being pre-installed. You can audit the code here, it's developed by GNOME.

i am curious about flash and browsers
are there substitutes for flash or are there other desktop programs that handle flash better than GNOME or GNOME/Chromium? i don't know which are Chromium based
Vivaldi, Opera, even Microsofts Internet Explorer is now Chromium based, lack of flash on Chrome is the reason i moved away from Solus, love the distro, but its still not where it needs to be ....
you can not replace flash in Google Chrome, its integrated
KronikPillow .. but how is Chrome's Flash integration a distro issue?

Especially considering that Flash is a de facto dead technology.....

uhh... no, it's not? You have to install Flash. It's even still in the 3rd party repo.
He's right though, Flash doesn't work with Chrome/Vivaldi on Solus atm, and I have no idea why.
Staudey My first guess would be a Chrome configuration thing. I don't know if they've (Chrome) gotten to the point of disabling Flash by default (I want to say they have, though). Given that, you know, Flash is about to EOL shortly, and its from Flash's own recommendations to browsers.
Does flash matters anymore?
This is the bug report on phabricator, in case anyone has an idea:
