After upgrading chromium from 53.0.2785.143-0ubuntu1.1307 to 55.0.2883.87-0ubuntu0.16.10.1328 google music (https://play.google.com/music/listen#/home) does not work and show me this:
Missing Flash Player
You need the latest Adobe Flash Player to listen to music.
Note: I have never had adobe flash installed:
$ dpkg -l | grep "adobe\|flash"
ii kwordquiz 4:16.04.3-0ubuntu1 amd64 flashcard learning program
$
and it worked an hour ago (before updating)!

Btw, the problem is that the message is a little sloppy on that web site. It checked for a native way to steam using built-in codecs. That failed. Then it tried to fall back to Flash. That failed. It only complained about the latter.
The real fix is to make native codecs work again. Working on that.
