Hello Adobe,
With the new version of Chrome recently updated, I notice that the ability to put exceptions into Flash running on Chrome has been removed. We have users at our workplace that require Flash to run on our time management system to clock in called Kronos. Is this a bug or is this a permanent feature? We may need to start using a different browser if this is the case.
Thanks,
-Kyle
The makers of all major browsers have agreed together a program for phasing out Flash by 2020, starting by making it more and more awkward to use. So, any difficulties you see may be part of that pattern, and any relief from another browser only temporary.

This is a change to Chrome, not Flash Player. Google's explicit goal is to create friction for end-users, who in turn will complain to their vendor(s) and content providers about the bad user experience, which ultimately forces those vendors to migrate to HTML and JavaScript content.
So... you should talk to Kronos about whether or not they have a non-Flash version, and what their plans are for making that move.
Aside from that, your options are pretty much limited to moving to a browser with a less aggressive stance on Flash Player.
