Now You: Have you disabled any plugins installed in Chrome?ĭamn once again this is NOT the only option and it is a bad one, as you point out yourself. Let us hope that Vivaldi and Opera won't follow Chrome's example. Google is removing control over plugins from the web browser, and is rightfully criticized for making that decision as it is anything but user friendly. you do need to repeat this whenever Chrome updates though. The plugin is no longer loaded by Chrome.

On windows, it is located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\\WidevineCdm\.Ĭlose Chrome, delete the folder, and restart the browser.

The caveat is that it gets added again when Chrome updates. The only option that is left is to delete the plugin folder on the local system. This bug highlights that Google considers all plugins but Flash and the PDF Viewer, as integral parts of the Chrome browser, and that it does not want users to disable those.Īll other plugins (NaCL and WideVine) are considered integral part of the browser and can not be disabled. Users may overcome this by enabling this flag: ch rome://flags/#prefer-html-over-flash If you use the Settings instead, you get a square asking whether you want to enable Flash to play content instead. If you disable Flash on chrome://plugins, Flash is completely disabled.
