inconsistent site-engagement for website using Flash

Reported by fanthoma...@gmail.com, Mar 20 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.110 Safari/537.36

Example URL:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
There is no step to follow in order to reproduce the problem. It only concerns how site-engagement are defined in order to allow or block website using Flash

What is the expected behavior?
Every computer in the world should have the same engagement-score to be able (or not) to access a website built with Flash

What went wrong?
Every morning since the beginning of the month, I make some test on 12-13 computers concerning the behaviour of the site-engagement of Chrome to be able to know exactly how much "point" a user need to have in order to be able to run a Flash-website. 

My probleme is that 95% of my computers require 2 points of engagement while a single one computer needs 4 points.

We tested a lot around it but we don't find what could "create" the 2 more points required. 

Thank you !

Thanks for reaching out, and kudos on being so observant.  As per our schedule (1) we plan to increase the SEI score to 4 this month.  Currently we have an experiment deployed to set the threshold to 4 for 12.5% of the population, the rest currently are set to 2.  This configuration permits us to see the effects of the threshold change.  

At the end of the month we'll move the bulk of users on to the 4 configuration and reserve another 12.5% experiment for SEI 8.
