 brew cask install pennywise

+To enable flash support, copy Chrome's Pepperflash plugin into your $USER-DIR/.pennywise-flash. Or better yet create a symlink to the plugin installed with your browser. See chrome://flash in your browser for installation path.
+
+e.g. on MacOS
+
+```
+ln -s "/Users/colint/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/PepperFlash/32.0.0.156/PepperFlashPlayer.plugin" .pennywise-flash

+```
+Using flash is at your own risk and should only be done with sites you trust!
