Package: chromium
Version: 29.0.1547.57-1~deb7u1
Severity: normal
Forwarded: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=306863
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make sure Flash is not installed
2. Visit a page with Flash embedded
What is the expected result?
The flash applet should not run. Perhaps a warning (which can be
disabled) advising that there are unsupported elements in the page could be
displayed.
What happens instead?
A message: 'Shockwave Flash needs your permission to run' is displayed. Since
Shockwave Flash is not installed, this is misleading. If the user grants
permission, there is no warning that the Flash applet is not running.
The same message appears within the placeholders in the elements in question.

Based on some limited testing, it look like chromium 37 has finally
done away with the unavoidable flash prompt.
Best wishes,
