Description
Environment
Chrome 39.0.2171.36 (beta)
How to reproduce
see #1372
Observed behaviour
Since Chrome 38 requests loading <object> elements like Flash, and requests initiated by those third-party plugins are mistakenly reported by Chrome's webRequest API with the type other instead object.
This can lead to false negatives as well as false positives when using Adblock Plus. In the worst case it results in breaking entire Flash videos, as reported in #1372.
We limited the workaround we originally implemented to Chrome 38, in the hope that Google will fix that issue before Chrome 39 is released. However, Chrome 39 is in beta for two weeks now, and it is rather unlikely that this issue will still be fixed in the beta.
Expected behaviour
Adblock Plus should work around Chrome bug 410382, on Chrome 39 as it already does for Chrome 38.
