Flash Is Going Away at the kết thúc of 2020
RELATED: How to Use Adobe Flash in 2021 & Beyond
Flash isn’t completely gone—yet. Instead, Chrome blocks Flash by mặc định with the message “Flash was blocked on this page.” If you re-enable Flash in Chrome, you see a message that says, “Flash Player will no longer be supported after December 2020,” with a button to lớn turn off Flash.
As Google explains, when the ball drops on New Year’s Eve, 2020, the countdown will also be counting down lớn the over of Flash.
This isn’t just a Google Chrome thing. Adobe will also end tư vấn for Flash at the end of 2020. Mozilla is even more aggressive—it will remove Flash tư vấn entirely in early 2020.
If you use Flash, you still have nearly one & a half years until it’s gone. Chrome’s increasingly aggressive moves are supposed lớn encourage websites to lớn move away from Flash while they still have plenty of time to bởi so.
How lớn Run Flash on a Website
When you visit a trang web that uses Flash, you see a “Plugin blocked” message at the right side of Chrome’s Omnibox or address bar.

To enable Flash for the site, click the lock icon at the left side of the Omnibox (address bar), click the “Flash” box, & then click “Allow.”
Chrome prompts you khổng lồ reload the page—click “Reload.”
Even after you reload the page, any Flash content won’t be loaded—you have to lớn click it to load it.
To run an individual Flash object, click its Play button. To lớn run all Flash objects on the page—including any hidden Flash objects running in the background—click the blocked plugin icon at the right side of the Omnibox & click “Run Flash this time.”
Whenever you allow Flash for a website, it’s added to lớn the allow list—click the blocked plugin icon and click “Manage” lớn see it. Alternatively, you can head to lớn chrome://settings/content/flash lớn view it.
Here’s the bad news: whenever you restart your browser, Chrome erases this list. If you use Flash frequently on a particular website, you’ll have to vì this repeatedly. Google seriously wants Chrome users to lớn stop using Flash, so it’s making the Flash process annoying on purpose.
How to lớn Enable Click-to-Play Flash
Rather than Chrome automatically blocking Flash on all websites, you can set Chrome lớn ask before displaying Flash content. (No, there’s no way to have Chrome automatically play Flash anymore.)

Unlike the above preference, Chrome will remember this setting. However, it will display a “Flash Player will no longer be supported after December 2020” banner every time you reopen your browser. There’s no way to lớn disable this message without disabling Flash.
When Flash is blocked, click the blocked plugin icon in Chrome’s Omnibox & click “Manage.” This takes you to lớn the Flash settings page, which you can also access from Settings > Advanced > Privacy và Security > Site Settings > Flash.
Click the toggle here lớn set Chrome khổng lồ “Ask first” rather than the mặc định “Block sites from running Flash (recommended.)”
Now, when you visit a trang web with Flash, you can click a Flash object on the website page & click “Allow” khổng lồ view it.

You still have khổng lồ click to play the Flash nội dung afterward. However, it’s a bit more streamlined than clicking the lock icon to mở cửa the website’s settings menu.
Of course, Flash won’t vanish completely at the end of 2020. Old browsers, lượt thích Internet Explorer, will still support old versions of the Flash plug-in. It should be possible khổng lồ run Flash content if you really need it, but the plug-in will no longer be updated with security fixes.
