    Hi,

    Chrome has its own Flash Player plugin  embedded by Google. Updating from Adobe won't affect it at all. You NEED to update Chrome (or uninstall and reinstall it altogether) to update the Flash Player for Chrome.

    For browsers like FireFox, Safari (NPAPI )and Opera(PPAPI),

    Go to System Preference -> Flash Player -> Updates and check the option as per convenience.

    Thanks!
