Carol RoggenkampI know several of us have had issues with adobe flash, chrome with it's latest update blocked it and you have to go into your settings on chrome to unblock it. I have found the reason why. Adobe will no longer support flash after December 2020, yes that is 16 months from now, but that is why chrome is making it annoying so you know this is going to happen. Just thought I would let people know. https://www.ghacks.net/2019/05/06/chrome-76-flash-block-and-making-flash-use-more-annoying/

RaymondLast Edited August 9th 2019 at 8:04 AM chrome and chrome based browsers think they know better then you and like dictators want to prevent you from using flash. it is not adobe. it is google who are making it hard. browsers can continue using flash for decades after adobe stops supporting flash
there are 3 ways to be free. 1. stop using chrome based browsers, most others are not draconian in wanting to control what you do. any other browsers can work. here is a list i use but am unsure which are not chrome based. comet bird, iron, sea monkey, pale moon, midouri, opera, safari, comodo dragon, firefox (if you must). and perhaps photon and puffin if flash itself is ever turned off. the reason i am unsure is #3 2. if you must use chrome based ones then each and every time you open chrome new and start a flash based game you have to click on the thing far left on URL line, may look like a padlock, and click on site settings and on flash change that from blocked or ask, to ALLOW. then reload the game page (i would open new tab, close all others, and open game in that). but you have to do this every time chrome is newly opened. you may also have to click in the middle of the page and allow or something. 3. but if you want to avoid this hassle then do the following. once. only once on your computer or any you want to use to play flash games. make a text file called something.reg call it whatever you want, perhaps screwgoogle.reg in it put the following. i forget if i put that first line there. I did this over half a year ago and have not had a single problem since Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome] "DefaultPluginsSetting"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\PluginsAllowedForUrls] "1"="http://apps.facebook.com/*" "2"="https://apps.facebook.com/*" "3"="http://www.kongregate.com/*" "4"="https://www.kongregate.com/*" |

Carol RoggenkampRaymond if you read the story you would know Adobe will not be supporting flash on any browser after dec of 2020. Chrome is just giving people a heads up that is is happening. This was in the story. "Adobe Flash is going away in 2020; better, support for Adobe Flash ends in 2020. Adobe won't support Flash anymore, and all major browser makers revealed plans to retire Flash in their browsers." It will not just be chrome that will no longer have flash it will be all the browsers.

Raymondlack of support is not the same as going away. browsers 'retiring' use of flash can be overcome as stated.
if you read what i said, in number 2 i list 2 browsers (there are even more) that actually do not use flash at all but allow play of flash based games. and those will work forever. those are ways people can play on androids and apple based things that never allowed flash in the first place. what i posted should work even after flash is gone. p.s. method number 4. download old versions of flash, keep your own libraries of major versions. do same for the browser you like. and simply use an old version of the browser and an old version of flash. be sure to turn off automatic updates of those. |

RaymondLast Edited August 9th 2019 at 9:10 AM oh, and chrome is not the be all and end all of all browsers no matter what google would like people to believe.
While that means that most browsers won't support Flash content anymore and that there won't be any more updates for Flash, it does not really mean that all Flash content on the Internet is suddenly going away. |

Carol RoggenkampBarbara, you are so right. I was just giving a heads up and information how to solved the blocked flash now. I was not saying anything about which browser was better. I know I like different browsers for different things I do.

Raymondmy comment was not about you or what you said, it was about one of the links you posted that talked about chrome and chrome and chrome and only chrome and nothing else at all.

DestKittehChrome hid Adobe settings long before Adobe released the news. Raymond is right.
Also, the devs are well aware of the news about flash no longer being supported in 2020. |

RaymondThe info I posted came directly from google some time in December. It does not require one to 'go into' the registry, i.e. one does not have to do the dangerous operation of editing the registry.
If one actually read what i wrote then they would copy and paste that info, making whatever url changes you want including removing wildcards if one wants and adding as many urls as you have flash games if you like (and if you are saddled into needing to use chrome or chromium based browsers for some reason), into a text file, windows then makes the registry changes for you when you load, or reload as many times as you want to reload that text file. (p.s. Mac's have a slightly different bit of code and process, all spelled out by that google document). The only problem would be if someone did not copy exactly what google wrote on how to do that... Other browsers have similar changes (that are not necessary yet). And yet other browsers like puffin and photon and dolphin DO NOT even have flash but play bw2 and crusaders of the lost idols and other flash based games perfectly fine. So fine that people using androids phones or tablets, or i-pads or i-phones that never allowed flash, can even play the game. |
