How to Update Adobe Flash Player Plugin in Google Chrome This updates the Adobe Flash Player plugin in the Chrome web browser, this is demonstrated in Mac OS but it works the same in Windows too. In the URL bar of Google Chrome, type the following address: chrome://components/ and hit return. Jul 15, 2014 - The chrome://plugins page was removed in Chrome 57 and later. So now you have to use chrome://settings/content/flash to control when.
Click the Flash settings from the list of Content Settings. Enable the switch for “Ask First”. If you have an older version of Chrome, you may need to click the option “Allow sites to run Flash” and click “Done”. You have flash on now. Restart chrome and try again and you should be good to go! If you would rather allow Flash for ONLY our customizer and not other websites, follow steps 4-6. Allow Flash on Specific Sites by Web Address (Optional).
4. Enable flash (as per above steps) and then use the Allow section underneath to add sites to the Allow list by domain name. Add.ogmystyle.com in the Add a Site popup, which is our customizer app’s domain.ogmystyle.com Click Add to apply the permission. You can also add any other websites you would like to add Flash permission for. Try it out in a new tab. You can close the content settings screen and open a new tab to a site you’ve allowed to test your Flash support. A restart of Chrome may not be necessary with a new tab, but it’s the safest way to make sure the plugin settings are not already cached.
Block Flash by Disabling It (Same Chrome Settings). To disable flash, simply disable the same switch for Flash support You may also want to remove any Allowed sites that you may have added. Background on Flash Support Changes: Chrome Browser Now Blocking Flash – March 2017 Recently, as of around March 2017, Chrome has started disabling the use of the Flash plugin even though Flash is installed by default and Chrome does support it. They don’t do a good job of explaining it on screen, at all, either, so most companies have transitioned from flash to HTML5 (not all – for example HBO GO uses Flash player for millions to watch Game of Thrones).
But, without iPhone support and now Chrome defaulting to disabled, Flash is now being forced to step aside for HTML5 / Javascript. Why Are They Doing This? It’s a long story involving Steve Jobs / Apple, and Adobe. Long story short, Google is now leading the final charge to move towards HTML5 standards as is the new mobile-compatible standard.
This is incredibly annoying for good flash apps like the Customizer! Flash now has to be manually enabled if you haven’t used it before (per website). Once they allow our customizer URL, the Flash customizer will be allowed to run on any website they use it on. (instructions below) What Happens Exactly?
When Flash is blocked by Chrome even though it does have Flash supported, our HTML5 Customizer will run instead, as it does for all mobile users that don’t have Flash at all. Desktop users will often get the non-Flash HTML5 version in Chrome, unless they have either used it before the new Chrome settings, or if they’ve allowed Flash to run in the Chrome settings. Flash-Only Features As of this writing, the main features that are not yet supported on HTML5 are Patterns and Monograms. The HTML5 Customizer DOES support uploading images, adding text, backgrounds, foregrounds, fonts, drag and drop editing, and all the core features that are most important for the majority of personalization sites.
Our roadmap currently includes adding support for Patterns and Monograms in Q4 unless otherwise prioritized by a custom development collaboration with a client or developer.
