Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.108 Safari/537.36 Example URL: any that use adobe flash Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Set allow all sites to run flash 2. go to a flash site like speedtest.net 3. What is the expected behavior? supposed to be flash enabled What went wrong? flash doesn't enable. Please fix this and restore the allow all sites to run the flash plugin instead of asking or block. I rely on this a ton as most sites don't ask anymore to enable flash but will just say flash is disabled. Leaving it to ask creates more of a hassle than a benefit. Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes Is it a problem with a plugin? No Did this work before? Yes not sure but it did before, I would say Chrome 60 to be safe Does this work in other browsers? Yes Chrome version: 63.0.3239.108 Channel: stable OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2) Flash Version: 28.0.0.126 Please restore this function

I also wanted to add that it is the same way here as on MacOS High Sierra 10.13.2

Hi, you can add a site exception for some sites you need (like speedtest.net) to run Flash. Also see Chromium's overall Flash roadmap: https://www.chromium.org/flash-roadmap.

Then it becomes a conveniency issue. No one really wants to have to manually input a long list of websites just to allow Flash to work. Most sites don’t ask to run flash anymore even though they use it which renders ask to run flash/click to run flash useless. I only use speedtest.net as an example. Because of this, I personally have long flash allow lists of at least 20-30 websites on at least 5 computers. Think of it this way: Would you personally rather want to manually input the long list of sites or would you rather have automatic running of flash? Or even better click to run? Manually inputting long list of sites - less convenient more of a hassle than anything Automatically run flash or even better click to run - more convenient, less hassle |
