Max Norris Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Silly convenience question. Most of the time I keep the Flash plugin disabled, but once in a while I turn it on for the occasional site where it's still Flash or nothing. When I use Firefox I use an addon that toggles the plugin for me via a button on the toolbar. (Called FlashDisable if anyone wants it.) It's not a Flash blocker as blocking doesn't help when a site uses HTML5 as a fallback, it actually disables/enables the plugin entirely. I didn't see anything in the Chrome store, and I suspect the browser wouldn't allow it, but just in case I missed it, anyone know of an addon that'll do the same for Chrome? Not a huge deal, just a lot more convenient than going in and out of chrome://plugins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May not be the best solution, but you can install the legacy browser support addon for Chrome to launch an IE window for specific pages. But only works for IE 6 - 11. Could keep Flash enabled in IE and just have sites redirected that way. https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/3019558?hl=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
