Pepper flash on Rasbian Buster

I am planning on building a RPi 4 based desktop using DietPi Buster (a Raspbian/Debian derivative).
I need to run flash in a browser on this device (don't ask why, I am building it for someone else).
Is there an up-to-date guide on how to get flash (via pepper flash) running on Chromium ?
From my research it seems that I need to extract pepper flash from a Chromebook system image; I have no idea how to do it.
The Debian page for pepper flash doesn't inspire confidence. I did not find anything for ARM and it seems that Debian proper has depreciated pepper flash altogether in buster.
Is it even possible to have flash running on RPi 4 with a buster distro?

A flash player is already included in chromium-browser

Run the Official Raspbian Buster with Desktop release as it includes chromium-browser and pepper-flash, which I believe may be disabled by default:

Version 32.0.0.255 of Flash player added

Interesting, I guess I will have to give official Raspbian a go.
Thanks for the clarification!
