Google drove another nail into its coffin with Chrome 76, which blocks all Flash content on websites by default.

If you still use Flash, you can re-enable it for nowbut Chrome makes it annoying.

Instead, Chrome blocks Flash by default 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 turn off Flash.

Mozilla is even more aggressiveit will remove Flash support entirely in early 2020.

Chromes increasingly aggressive moves are supposed to encourage websites to move away from Flash while they still have plenty of time to do so.

If you use Flash frequently on a particular website, youll have to do this repeatedly.

Google seriously wants Chrome users to stop using Flash, so its making the Flash process annoying on purpose.

However, it will display a Flash Player will no longer be supported after December 2020 banner every time you reopen your browser.

Theres no way to disable this message without disabling Flash.

This takes you to the Flash settings page, which you can also access from Settings Advanced Privacy Security Site Settings Flash.

However, its a bit more streamlined than clicking the lock icon to open the websites settings menu.

Old browsers, like Internet Explorer, will still support old versions of the Flash plug-in.

It should be possible to run Flash content if you really need it, but the plug-in will no longer be updated with security fixes.
