Because conveniently several of them are Google properties. If their sites weren't top 10, but top 20, then we would see the top 20 sites exempt.

- zellyn 10y ago"several" Aside from YouTube, I don't see any other Google properties in the list. https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msg/chromium-dev/0wWoRRhTA_E/__E3jf40OAAJ https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msg/chromium-dev/...
- maxerickson 10y agoWhy would they build html5 versions of their properties and then serve flash versions to their html5 browser?
- kuschku 10y agoBecause they don’t have html5 versions of all of their properties? several of them are still flash-only, for example, Google Finance.
- maxerickson 10y agoThat's not a response to anything I said. My point is that they are building html5 versions of many of their sites (like Youtube, probably the biggest site supporting html5). Why would they care about serving the old flash versions of those sites to their html5 browser? I agree that they have not moved all of their properties in lockstep over to html5. But I think Youtube supporting html5 provides more information about their motivations than the number of domains they are putting on the default whitelist.
- bitmapbrother 10y agoI believe this has more to do with supporting old browsers that don't have support for HTML5 video.
- deelowe 10y ago"Several" means one now?
- bitmapbrother 10y agoYouTube is the only Google property on the list. In fact, there are more Amazon properties than Google. So the "point" you were trying to make didn't work out.
