Chrome HTML5 default instead of flash - iframe flash apps on facebook

[Parveen Kumar]

Hi,

As per Google announcement (http://venturebeat.com/2016/05/15/google-targets-html5-default-for-chrome-instead-of-flash-in-q4-2016/), Chrome will use HTML5 as default and only for top 10 domains it will serve Flash without a prompt in Q4 2016. The whitelist is for one year.

Can someone comment if iframe flash apps on top 10 domain will also be allowed if they serve flash from a different domain? Many apps/games on facebook use flash. Are these apps also whitelisted for 1 year when served on facebook.com inside iframe?

Here is an example of this scenario:

1) User browses apps.facebook.com/game1

2) The facebook page serves iframe with url http://game1.com/game1.html

3) The iframe loads a flash file (.swf) from url http://cdn.game1.com/game1.swf

Thanks.

The enablement of Flash Player, whether it's via user action or some form of a whitelist, will hold across the entire site even if they are loading resources from a different origin (i.e. iframed content would not get an additional prompt).
