The most surprising thing is that YouTube is on the list of domains to be excluded from this. While they've put in considerable effort into migrating away from Flash, it seems unfair for Google to enforce this policy on their smaller competitors while exempting their own property.
- geofft 10y agoI can sort of see that as defensible from a UX point of view -- a lot of people will be unhappy if YouTube doesn't work in their browser, regardless of whether YouTube is owned by their browser's manufacturer. (If e.g. Edge broke YouTube, people would be rightly upset.) I suppose a more defensible argument would be that the Chrome team trusts YouTube not to serve malicious Flash, but that doesn't seem to be what they're going for, since they're unconditionally allowing the top 10 Flash-using websites regardless of security history.
