www-client/chromium-10.0.648.82 warns about out of date plugins that have been explicitly disabled in about:plugins. (Also it seems like it thinks that gnash/lightsparc etc versions correspond to adobe flash versioning wrt. security...) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Disable flash plugins in about:plugins 2. go to youtube and observe the warning about out of date plugin.
The message on Youtube is rendered as part of the site; it is not a Chromium feature. If I go to other flash sites (like pandora.com), I get a "plugin missing" message. Can you elaborate on your comment on gnash/lightsparc? I'm not sure what you mean by that.
It sounds like an upstream issue. Could you please file a new bug at http://new.crbug.com and post the link here?
Upstream bug. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=73723 I get the same warning on about any page (almost all of them have flash nowadays) and it seems to be a chromium warning by style and it emerged upon chromium upgrade. Gnash and lightsparc are free flash implementations that do not always share the security issues of proprietary flash that motivate google to warn about obsolete versions. I don't have adobe flash at all, so it may not be too far fetched that warnings refer to those open source plugins.
Thank you. Please re-open if the upstream issue gets closed without a fix.
