It seems Chrome insist on using proxy "DIRECT" when it checks for component update (. First step is to download the Flash player uninstaller file and uninstall the current flash plugin from your system. Installing Adobe Flash Player on Google Chrome. Download older or any other version of Flash player from Macromedia website. Linking everything from /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/ to ~/.config/google-chrome/PepperFlash/ didn't seem to help. Remove (uninstall) Adobe Flash player completely. It seems this relates to how Google Chrome distribute Flash Player in version 54+, so I used the "Check for update" button in chrome://components, and it says Disabling Adobe Flash Player plugin in Chrome is easy, here is how you do it in modern and older versions of the Chrome browser.
#Adobe flash plugins chrome mac os#
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome with no avail. Managing the Adobe Flash Player plugin is the same on any platform running Chrome, whether it's Mac OS X, Windows, or Linux, the example here is using Chrome on a Mac in OS X. If, however, I do this: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/ /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash # There's no PepperFlash folder by defaultīut chrome://plugins and chrome://version still show 23.0.0.185, and Flash contents still show the "out of date" warning and Chrome still refuse to play them.

So I Googled, installed adobe-flashplugin and pepperflashplugin-nonfree instead, and Flash plugins returned - except for Google Chrome. To get started, open Chrome and click in the address bar. Then this one day, for some reason I don't remember, I installed the legacy Flash Player package (I think it's flashplugin-installer?), and suddenly ALL blink-based browsers (Google Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi) lost Flash Player in their plugin setting page, and can not play Flash contents. I have been using Xubuntu without Adobe Flash package for quite some time, and things works fine. I'm in Xubuntu LTS, Google Chrome stable latest.
