Step 1
❱ Plug-ins are allowed by default. However, since they can
occasionally be a security risk, Google Chrome blocks plug-ins
that are outdated or not widely used. Examples include Java,

plug-ins on a one by one basis.


Step 2
❱ To block plug-ins, click the Chrome menu and select Settings.
Click Show advanced settings and in the Privacy section click
the Content settings button. Click the arrow to the right of the
plug-in and select which sites you wish to block from its use.

❱ To block the website(s) that are causing you an issue with the
a specific plug, such as Flash Player for example, click the Add
button and enter the URL of the site that has issues and then
Click Add again to complete the process.

Step 4
❱ If you have used previous versions of the Chrome browser you
may notice that you are unable to completely disable a plug-in
in the current Chrome build. You are able to block plug-ins as
detailed here and there is no limit on the number of sites you
can add to the blocked list.
