We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Chromium since that time.
This bug report is over five years old and the contents of the URL in the description have undoubtedly changed as today I see a message (when using Google Chrome) which includes the text: We have retired Flash. Support for Flash ended on December 31, 2020. Chromium, now a snap, give me an "Access denied" error. I'm closing this bug report as it is no longer valid. ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1705981 Title: Chromium doesn't follow flash deprecation guidelines Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Chrome has set the global policy for flash to "ask first" for a while. Yet, chromium will always play flash content without user consent if the adobe-flashplugin package is installed on the system. Test: Visit http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/ on chrome and chromium. Per default policy, chrome will ask for user consent. Chromium will not. Expected Behaviour: Chromium should also ask the user first.
