I think I found a webpage where flash is not loaded even if flash player is installed and allowed: http://www.gapminder.org/world/

Unable to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 14.04 using chrome latest stable #60.0.3112.101. After opening the URL http://www.gapminder.org/world/ observed the plugins blocked for first time and later clicked on the plugin icon from top right corner of the omnibox and 'Run all Plugins this time'. Observed the flash content played as expected.

Reporter@ Could you please recheck this issue by updating your Adobe flash player from chrome://components and let us know on which version the flash is running?

Thanks!
I'm using the latest flash player version: 26.0.0.151. I'll look for other webpage showing the same behaviour and I'll update this issue.

if it helps, this is what I see when I run the Google Chrome browser from terminal:

[8056:8056:0825/081955.129619:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(344)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process.

I'm using the latest Google Chrome version (60.0.3112.113-1) and plugin Adobe Flash Player - Versión: 26.0.0.151
In this page ( http://www.mono-1.com/monoface/main.html ) you see sort of the same behaviour as reported, but the flash components are still working.

Same issue is prominent for the largest online community in China: tieba.baidu.com . It uses flash for showing replies message. Even if I select to allow all flash at the page information area. It still blocks flash for this message passing function. It makes the community very unpleasant for use. I have to click the Run Plugin button in address bar now and then to see replies to my threads.

I' m on Windows 10 x64 and latest chrome 61. Many people in China experience this: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/5308739847 . 
I am experiencing the same issue on 

Version 61.0.3163.79 (Official Build) (64-bit)
OS: Windows 7

I experienced the same issue few months back and was able to resolve it by doing the following steps.

- Go on chrome://flags
- search for "Prefer html over flash"
- Put it on "Disabled"
垃圾浏览器,v61就是败笔玩意,一大堆网站打不开,提示https被吊销,falsh也无法显示。

Thanks for the report.  Independent of any preference/ setting, Chrome actively blocks all small (less than 300x400) form factor Flash content.   The reason for this block is that class of content, representing ~90% of Flash impressions, was used predominantly for ads viewability detection (i.e., is the ad visible on the screen), which had significant performance implications, and persistent/ long lived cookies, which has implications to privacy.

The work around, for site developers, would be to expand the content to be > 300x400.
