- Jul 11, 2017 The Chrome web browser is perhaps best suited for running Adobe Flash because Chrome sandboxes the Flash player plugin, making it a bit more secure. While Google Chrome should automatically update the Adobe Flash plugin itself when the browser app is relaunched, sometimes Adobe Flash Player may.

The Google Chrome web browser utilizes its own implementation of Adobe Flash Player. Chrome integrated Adobe Flash Player in June 2010 for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. Prior to that time, Flash Player was only available in Chrome’s beta releases and developer releases. The addition of Flash to Google Chrome eliminated the need for users to download, install and update it separately.

Google Chrome users do not have to download new versions of Flash Player. Google Chrome automatically updates its Flash Player plug-in when new versions of Flash Player are available. In this fashion, end users always have the latest Flash Player security updates as soon as they become available. To verify that your Google Chrome web browser is up-to-date, select About Google Chrome from under the Customize and control Google Chrome menu (the 3-lined icon near the Google Chrome web address bar).
Multiple Flash Player plug-ins
With Flash Player integrated into Google Chrome, users no longer have to install Flash Player separately. This creates a seamless experience for end users. The Google Chrome web browser updates its integrated Flash Player to automatically protect users with the latest security updates. If a user disables the integrated Flash Player in Google Chrome, Chrome will use the downloaded plug-in version of Flash Player (if the end user has it installed on their system). Otherwise, Google Chrome will automatically use its own integrated Flash Player if a user has multiple Flash Player plug-ins installed and enabled.
An end user can identify or differentiate Google Chrome’s integrated Flash Player plug-in from the system Flash Player plug-in if they have installed both. The integrated Flash Player in Google has a different file name than the system plug-in. When you enable or disable plug-ins, please be certain that you are doing so to the correct plug-in:
Platform | Adobe Flash Player plug-in integrated with Chrome | System plug-in |
---|---|---|
Windows | pepflashplayer.dll | NPSWF32.dll |
Mac | PepperFlashPlayer.plugin | Flash Player.plugin |
Linux | libpepflashplayer.so | libflashplayer.so |
Chrome OS | libpepflashplayer.so | libpepflashplayer.so |

Adobe has released Flash Player 10.1 for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The company has been pushing out release candidates for the last few months, but now the Flash plugin is officially ready for prime time.
Among the biggest changes in Flash Player 10.1 are support for hardware acceleration for H.264 video content. That means if you’re using the Windows version of Flash 10.1, your computer’s graphics card may be able to do the heavy lifting when it comes to decoding Flash video. Unfortunately this doesn’t work with all graphics cards.
Intel GMA 950 and GMA 3150 graphics need not apply, but if you have a laptop with NVIDIA ION graphics or Broadcom Crystal HD video accelerator then you should be able to watch high definition Flash video. Most recent ATI and NVIDIA graphics cards should also work, as well as Intel GMA 4500MHD integrated graphics.
Flash Player 9.0
Flash Player 10.1 also supports private browsing in Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer. Up until recently, if you visited a web site while using your browser’s private mode, the browser wouldn’t keep any cookies or other data — but Adobe Flash Player would. Now it doesn’t.
Flash Player 10.1 is available as a free download from Adobe.
