   Many websites will fall back to a non-Flash user experience (e.g. HTML5 video) if Flash is not installed. If the website truly requires Flash, they will display a message saying so and the user can then permit the browser to activate (and &

   Also Chrome's proposed Flash whitelist is rather US-centric and I don't think it will work well in Asia, where the popular sites differ and many more sites rely on Flash.

    Larger address spaces are useful, even if you don't have 2^64 bytes of physical RAM. For example, most 32-bit Firefox crashes are OOM crashes due to virtual address space exhaustion.
