How to disable Flash in Chrome?

Question

I need to disable Flash for a test case where the user doesn't have Flash installed in Chrome.

Before updating, it worked fine with this option --disable-bundled-ppapi-flash. But now it doesn't work.

How do I disable Flash?

Answer 1

Do the following on your Google Chrome, to disable Flash, or allow it for specific domains:

Option 1:

Navigate to chrome://settings/content and select the option you want in the Flash section.

---

Option 2:

Chrome Settings > Click Show advanced options... > Under Privacy click Content Settings... > See the Flash section.

Answer 2

There is an easy way.

1. Go to the url you want to block flash for

2. Click on icon "i" in front of the url

3. Change the flash to "Always block for this site"

   

Answer 3

I discovered something else that appears to disable Flash: Navigate to

chrome://flags/#prefer-html-over-flash

and set the flag that is highlighted (for "Prefer HTML over Flash") to "Enabled"

I have just done this and tested my computer on Do I Leak- and it reports that Flash is disabled

Answer 4

Sadly they removed interaction with plugins like that in chrome 57.

With web browsers being among the most frequently used pieces of software out there, it's little wonder that there is so much concern about security surrounding them. Browser plugins can be a major security worry, and with Chrome 57 Google has taken the strange decision to block users from disabling them or changing their settings.

You can still get at the settings by navigating to: chrome://settings/content

Example:

Alternatively you can get there by visiting: Chrome Settings > Show advanced options... > Content Settings > Flash
