Google Chrome browser has a new option to increase the security and speed of the plugins - a built in "click-to-play" feature. I've been enjoying Chrome's click to play options as a way to selectively block Flash. To enable this feature, please follow the steps below:
Tutorial: Enable Click-to-play option to block the flash in Chrome
- Update your Google Chrome to latest version.
- Launch Google Chrome, then click Tools -> Settings -> Under the Hood -> Content settings. You can also directly type chrome://settings/content in the address bar to access the setting page.
- In the Plug-ins section, select the option Click to play. You can create a whitelist of sites where you'd like to allow auto loading of plug-ins - for example, YouTube or other video sharing sites.
