This article mainly introduces Chrome 88 completely disable Flash how to do, has a certain reference value, interested friends can refer to, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, the following let Xiaobian take you to understand.

Recently, the new version of Chrome 88 has been officially released. While marveling at the fact that the version number of Chrome has been brushed to nearly 100, we need to pay special attention to the fact that this version of Chrome completely disables Flash! We know that from several years ago, the industry has predicted that Flash will be abandoned in 2021, and now it is reasonable to ban Flash in Chrome 88.

However, there are still a small number of users who have to use Flash. According to statistics, about 2.2% of the websites on the Internet use Flash technology, and some key network modules must rely on Flash. Without Flash, it is bound to affect work-just like the farce of a railway department a few days ago. If you are a Chrome user and want to continue to use Flash, how to deal with it? Here are some ways to share.

The most direct way to prohibit Chrome upgrades is, of course, to prohibit Chrome upgrading to Chrome 88. Chrome has a background upgrade mechanism, which means that even if you don't open Chrome,Chrome, you will upgrade quietly in the background of the system, and the next time you use it, you will inexplicably upgrade to Chrome 88. How do I prevent Chrome upgrades? Here are the specific measures.

First, we need to disable Chrome in the scheduled task. Search for "computer Management" in Windows, and then find the "scheduled Task Library".

In the scheduled Task Library, you can find two options related to Chrome automatic upgrade, both starting with "ChromeUpdateTaskUersS" and disabling it.

Next, we will clean up the automatic upgrade service of Chrome. Search for "Services" in Windows and open it, and find "Google Update Service" in the list of services and disable it.

Finally, we open the installation directory of Chrome, usually as follows:

C:\ Users\ user name\ AppData\ Local\ Google

Find the folder "Update" in it. Right-click it, in the "Security" tab, select "SYSTEM" and then click "Edit", and set the permission to deny completely.

Use Ruffle to simulate Flash running

This is a Chrome extension used to simulate Flash, and it is open source. Ruffle currently supports many browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and so on. Here's how to continue to use Flash without installing Flash Player.

Ruffle official website, which supports a variety of operating systems and browsers

Ruffle: https://ruffle.rs/

Ruffle is not yet available in the extension stores of major browsers, and we need to download its zip package from the official website and install it manually. The process in Chrome goes like this: first, open the extension management page of Chrome and turn on the developer mode switch in the upper right corner.

Open developer mode in the extension interface of Chrome

Next, extract the zip package of the Ruffle extension into a folder.

Extract the Zip package of Ruffle

In the extension management page of Chrome, click "load unzipped extensions", and then open the folder where Advertising Ruffle is unzipped, so that Ruffle is installed. Restart the Chrome browser and you can run Flash using Ruffle!

Install Ruffle in Chrome

Does Ruffle really work? Let's take a look at the author's test. In the following dynamic diagram, you can see that the switch of Flash in Chrome has been turned off, and then the author turns on the Flash Demo of a calculator. After clicking to run, the Flash Demo does run as usual, and there is no problem with the interface or interaction. Right-click on the Flash Demo and you can see that the Ruffle is indeed running.

Ruffle demonstration, it can be seen that Flash Demo can be run on the premise that Flash is turned off.

Of course, Ruffle is not perfect. Currently, it is not guaranteed to be perfectly compatible with all Flash components, and sometimes it still encounters errors. However, given that Ruffle is still in the Beta phase, it should do better in the future.

To sum up, it is a good thing for the industry to abandon Flash. After all, this product, which is full of security loopholes and inefficient, has not adapted to the times. If you really need Flash and are used to using Chrome browsers, try the above method and hope that websites that still use Flash will complete the technological transformation as soon as possible and embrace a new generation of Web technologies such as more advanced HTML5.
