Whenever I open any google browsers i.e. Chrome or google, the Adobe flash player automatically starts.  I want to know is there any settings I can unclick that will stop it from opening automatically.  I want to have the control of when to start flash player.

    Having just solved this irritating issue, two steps are required to stop Chrome running audio or video automatically, but still allow it to run on request:

    1 Go to chrome://plugins/ and uncheck the 'Always allowed' box for the offending plug-ins - Adobe Flashplayer, Quicktime etc

    2 Go to chrome://settings/content, scroll to the Plug-ins section and change the default 'Run automatically (recommended)' to 'Click to play'

    Now when you open a page with audio or video content, it'll be greyed-out with a jigsaw icon, which you can click to run.

    You can also change Chrome's preference so that you have to "click to play" plugin content.
