Finding Adobe Flash Player on Google Chrome

Adobe's popular multimedia platform, Flash, has long been a staple for online content providers looking to deliver rich media experiences across various browsers. However, with growing support for HTML5-based alternatives like YouTube and the eventual retirement of Flash by end-2020 from major platforms including Google Chrome, many users are now finding themselves struggling to locate or install this legacy software.

Fortunately, reinstalling Adobe Flash Player can often resolve these issues on your Google Chrome browser. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do so:

Method 1: Reinstall Flash Player through the Chrome Web Store

1. Open Google Chrome and type 'chrome://extensions' in the address bar.

2. Press Enter, then click 'Manage extensions' from the dropdown list.

3. In the Extensions page that appears:

- Locate Adobe Flash

- Click on three dots next to it (three vertical dots)

- Select Uninstall

4. A confirmation dialog box will appear asking if you're sure about uninstalling.

- Click 'Uninstall' again to confirm your action.

5. Once uninstalled, close and reopen Chrome for the changes to take effect.

Method 2: Reenable Flash from chrome://flags

If Method 1 doesn't work or Adobe's official site is blocked in your region:

1. Open Google Chrome

2. Type 'chrome://flags' into the address bar.

3. Press Enter, then search for 'Flash' within the flags page that opens.

4. Find and enable the following flags (enable means toggle them to ON):

- allow-autorun-on-https-domains-for-flash

- flash-player-path

5. Relaunch Chrome after enabling these flags by closing all browser windows and reopening one.

Method 3: Reinstall Flash Player Manually from Adobe's Website

If none of the above methods work, you can also try reinstalling Flash manually:

1. Go to 'Adobe's official Flash download page'(https://www.adobe.com/uk/products/flash-player.html) using a non-Chrome browser like Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.

2. Click on 'Get the Adobe Shockwave Player' (even though we're looking for Flash).

3. Follow the prompts to save and run the downloaded file, which should be called something like 'Flash_player_full_standalone.exe' depending on your operating system (Windows) or '.dmg' (macOS).

4. When prompted by a User Account Control dialog box in Windows:

- Click 'Yes' to allow installation of Adobe Flash Player.

5. In macOS:

- Double-click the downloaded .dmg file and follow its instructions.

6. Once installed, restart your computer for the changes to take effect before relaunching Google Chrome.
