    Just to wrap this up, Chrome 88 dropped support for browser plug-ins and removes the installed copy of Flash Player.  If you're on the current version of Chrome, you should be good to go.

    Yeah, just to summarize, you don't need to do anything.  Flash content is generally blocked by default, and a future update of Chrome on ChromeOS will drop support for Flash.  If you're a member of an enterprise organization (e.g. your computer is managed by a company or a school), your administrators will manage the process of updating and/or removing Flash support, at the point that it makes sense for that organization. 


    You can read more about the Flash roadmap in the context of Chrome and ChromeOS here:

    Google manages (installs/updates) Flash Player on ChromeOS, not Adobe.  I imagine they'll soon release an update that removes Flash Player support.

    With that said, no one on this forum can assist with removing Flash Player from ChromeOS.  You'll need to contact Google for assistance with that.
