They need a more technical description of "default experience". How is Chrome supposed to know if a site only supports Flash? I've tried several sites that require Flash, but only until I change the user agent to a mobile browser. Will Chrome try messing with the user agent in this case?
- chii 10y agoIf the site is so poorly done that you have to fiddle with the user agent to get it to work, I'd say good riddance to that site. Sites like that need a market pressure to become good, and you quitting said site is a vote in the right direction.
- LukeB_UK 10y agoYou're assuming that the site is still actively maintained.
- cpeterso 10y agoChrome (and Firefox [1]) will hide Flash from navigator.plugins so that sites will think Flash is not installed. Sites that have an HTML5 alternative will fall back to that. Sites that don't will display show a "Please install Flash" error message. Chrome and Firefox can show an in-browser prompt to allow Flash, which will allow the page to continue.
