Chrome/Flash plugin question


Recommended Posts

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.

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.
