I’m sure it’s going to change again soon, so I’ll be sure to update this post in case that happens. Hopefully, this clarifies exactly how Flash works in the latest version of Chrome. Note that you may have to close the tab and reload it in order for the Flash content to appear correctly. So, I have to basically select the Always allow on this site option in order for Flash to work. However, in my experience, the browser never actually asks me to enable Flash content even when there is clearly Flash content on the website. By default, it should be set to Use global default (Ask), which means the browser should ask you if you want to enable Flash for a site that has Flash content.
When you click on this icon, you’ll see a bunch of settings you can configure for that particular site. The icon will either be a lock icon if the connection is using HTTPS or it’ll be an information icon if the connection is non-secure.
The easier way to allow a site to run Flash is to go to the site and then click on the little icon to the left of the URL in the address bar. This method is a bit cumbersome since you must go to the Settings page, etc. One way to specify a site for Flash is to click on the Manage exceptions button under Content Settings – Flash as shown in the screenshot above.Īs you can see, I have added the NetAcad site I was talking about earlier with Behavior set to Allow.

You should never choose Allow sites to run Flash unless you have a really valid reason like using Chrome in a virtual machine or something. Obviously, if you want to completely block Flash in Chrome, select Block sites from running Flash. Make sure that the Ask first before allowing sites to run Flash (recommended) box is selected.
In the popup dialog, scroll down until you see the Flash heading. Scroll down some more and then click on Content Settings under Privacy. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on Show Advanced Settings. Now click on the Chrome menu button at the top right and click on Settings. Under Adobe Flash Player, click the Check for update button. Open another tab and type in chrome://components. Make sure that Prefer HTML over Flash and Run all Flash content when Flash setting is set to “allow” are set to Default. Open a new tab and type in chrome://flags. There are a couple of places where you can do this. Check Chrome Flash Settingsįirst, let’s check the Flash settings in Chrome. In this article, I’ll explain how to get Flash to work when you need it and how to keep it disabled otherwise. Now it seems they only want you to enable it for the specific sites where it is needed. This is terribly unintuitive and really confused me because I was used to going there to enable or disable Flash as needed.
