What's Misssing?

Notice a difference between these two screenshots?




That's right, the one on the top (Firefox 62.0.3 64-bit running on Linux Mint 18) has a media play button.

The one on the bottom (Google Chrome Version 70.0.3538.67 64-bit also running on Mint) does not.

Why is that, do you suppose? Last week, prior to Chrome 70 being released the button was there.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems a bit sloppy for a new browser release to break who knows how many sites with a bug like this. Or, maybe it's just Google continuing to try to protect us from Evil Flash.

Admittedly, Flash is evil, but so is inadvertently preventing content from being viewed. Or "vertently" blocking content. With Google it's sometimes hard to tell.

Whatever, it's irritating.

But at least Firefox works.

A quick (Google) search turned up no explanations for the button omission in Chrome 70. I'd report it to Google's Customer Support Center, but...

Oh, wait: they don't have one.

Oh well, at least Firefox works.
