And the correct answer is "No, Flash is blocked." Because when you toggle the switch the setting changes to "Ask first (recommended)". "Block sites..." is really the label for the left side of the toggle. When you toggle it, you get the label for the right side.pic.twitter.com/jVeVn901GX

Chrome has no excuse, though, with all the screen real estate available to describe what exactly they mean.
