    Google embeds Flash Player in Chrome.  There is no need to install it separately.  While it's embedded,  Google disables/blocks Flash by default.  To unblock it:

    1. go to ighome.com
    2. click the blocked plug-in icon on the right side of the address field and click manage
    3. This opens a new page to chrome://settings/content/flash
    4. toggle the 'Block sites from running Flash (recommended) switch to change it to 'Ask first'
    5. Go back to the ighome.com tab
    6. Click in the Accuweather widget that has the missing plugin icon
    7. A window will display prompting to allow Flash - click Allow
    8. Accuweather Flash widget will display

     

    This unblocking of Flash is required for each site and the Allow preference is deleted when the browser is closed.   See https://www.chromium.org/flash-roadmap#TOC-Flash-Disabled-by-Default-Target:-Chrome-76---July-2019- for more information
