Adobe Flash no longer work on Chrome

Hello,

  As of a couple weeks ago, I can still use Chrome to access all flash content without any problem. However, it suddenly stops working, and I cannot pinpoint any particular problem that caused this. Other browser that currently still support flash, such as Microsoft Edge, can still access flash content without problem. I have exhausted all available options as shown on the Chrome help page, Use or fix Flash audio & video - Computer - Google Chrome Help , with no progress in fixing the issue. Moreover, chrome://plugins used to be accessible shortly after finding out I cannot access flash content, but now it's an inaccessible site.

I did a clean re-installation of Chrome as well as Adobe Flash, but the problem remain: All websites that contains flash content simply tells me "Right-click to run Adobe Flash Player", but there are no response even after I tell the website to run Adobe Flash Player. Looking for more insight into this problem. Thanks!

    Correct answer _maria_

    Clicking on the mentioned button produce the same screen as the above screenshot.

    By going to chrome://site-engagement, the website has the base value 9.98. Setting it to 100 does not fix flash.


    Hi raymondz70177734

    Can you try the following:

    • Go to chrome://settings/content/flash
    • In the list of 'allow' sites, add http://* and https://* - make sure both are set to 'allow'
    • Restart the browser

    Have you tried completely uninstalling and re-installing Chrome?

    I've spoken to a few folks here and every suggestion on this thread covers every option we're aware of.  If nothing works, my next recommendation is to contact Google directly.  You can point them to this thread for a history of every thing you've attempted to do.

    Flash is broken and has been for a few weeks in Linux.  I've given up trying to get any reply from adobe.  The only work aorund I have found is find the location of the .so (plugin file) and replace it with a previous version extracted from the download.

    OS: Window 10 Home, Version 1709, OS Build 16299.125

    Direct link: While unfortunately I cannot link you directly to the website that I use flash the most frequently (Macmillan Learning , requires login and resource purchase), here is an alternative website that I access on a semi frequent basis: (N v2.0 Full Online Version)

    From Chrome:

    I tested on Windows 10 Home, OS build 1703 (updating it to 1709, but it's going to take a quite some timefor the update to complete).  Chrome version 63.0.3239.108 (the latest version installed today).

    I'm also using the system Flash Player plugin, instead of the integrated Flash Player plugin, which is what you're using.

    • The integrated Flash Player plugin is the one Google embeds in Chrome and is saved in the Chrome path (as per my screenshot above).
    • The system Flash Player plugin is installed by the end user and saved at C:\*WinDir*\*SysDir*\Macromed\Flash

    For the N v2.0 Full Online Version site:  When I first accessed the site, it displayed the following:

    I click the 'Get Adobe Flash Player' button link. Chrome intercepted the URL request and displayed the 'Run Flash' dialog window:

    The browser refreshed and Flash content displayed:

    Going to chrome://settings/content/flash indicates Flash is allowed on www.thwayoftheninja.org (on port 80):

    If I remove the domain from the 'allow' list and refresh the browser, Flash is blocked again on the site (same as the first screenshot above)

    I expect to be able to reproduce this behaviour when the system updates to Version 1709.

    Hopefully an answer will be showing up soon.. Adobe Flash Player has been nothing but trouble; it works, then it doesn't, it works, then it doesn't, and on and on it goes with the 'experts' to fix it once and for all no longer wanting to deal with Adobe...

    Net neutrality is now a thing of the past and now my FiOS connection to the Internet operates about as good as the old dial up modems did...  If the Adobe Flash Player is such a troublesome program, why is it still around and being used...?
