What irritates me is that flash is required for google music. I really like google music over all the other radio services, plus I have some music in my lib, but I've resorted to just looking up albums on youtube. If it's an absolute must have for some technical reason, a desktop client would be nice as an alternative.
Thanks for this. I'm not sure why they wouldn't use a fallback mechanism instead of making this an explicit setting?
Edit: This is strange. I went to change the setting and it is greyed out and cannot be changed. This is in both chrome AND firefox. Both are up to date with most recent version, and my macbook was bought this year. Neither have adblockers enabled.
It is indeed strange, I have been using this option for some time. Works like a charm on 2015 mbps, as well as older ones.
There is maybe an issue with your specific model ? That might also explain why it is not a default yet.

Those sites aren't going to break, even without adding any exceptions. There's no definition of "essential" that would exclude Flash content on Google Finance. As mentioned above, the exact heuristics they're using are:
"TLDR, essential content is either:
1) On the same domain as the page
2) Considered "Large" (at least 298 x 398, certain aspect ratio, minimum total area), with an exception for tiny content (likely transport plugins)."
And one would be wrong (at least in one's implication). There's enough sites on the Web still using Flash to deliver part of the core site that you don't need fevered conspiracy theories to explain why actual core site content wouldn't be clocked.
