I was talking to people about plans for Flash on e10s. Full support for windowed Flash on e10s is possible but would be a ton of work. Flash is on a downward trajectory and it would be a shame to do a ton of work to support something that may not be relevant for much longer.
One idea I had is this: suppose, independently of e10s, we make Flash click-to-play. (I understand this is already a goal, or at least a wish.) Then suppose we allowed click-to-play to reload the page. We would then be able to ensure that any page where Flash is enabled is loaded directly in the master process and everything would just work. That's not ideal, but it's a fine stop-gap approach IMHO. As Shumway matures we could whitelist common sites where Shumway is known to work, so those sites wouldn't need to be hoisted to the master process. One problem with these ideas is H.264 video sites on Windows XP. We're stuck with using Flash there for now. We might need to impose a different policy on Windows XP, backing off e10s more there perhaps.
