> In December, Chrome 55 will make HTML5 the default experience, except for sites which only support Flash. For those, you’ll be prompted to enable Flash when you first visit the site. Are they still planning to grant a one-year exemption to the top ten flash-only sites? The article doesn't mention it, but I haven't heard anything about it being cancelled.

As far as I understood, the rumours were blown up. Chrome will show a prompt asking you whether you would like to allow Flash (similar to the one asking you to give permission to access your location) if it's used on the website you just opened. The only exemption those top 10 Flash sites will get is they will have this permission by default, but you should still be able to both permanently add other websites to the whitelist and remove those default ones ones from it. Which, in my book, isn't nearly as bad as Apple's hardcoded support for FairPlay + DASH in Safari only on netflix.com. I could be wrong though, there could be more stages where it gets harsher and what I described is only the first step.
