Add, remove, and manage plugins on Chrome

Plugins let you do more with Chrome, like view Flash animations or PDF documents. They also help make some videos and audio files work better.

Which plugins you can use

Chrome comes with plugins to run Flash and PDF content. Chrome no longer works with NPAPI plugins, so websites that use plugins like Silverlight, Java, and Unity might not work on Chrome.

Note: Browser extensions are slightly different from plugins. Find out how browser extensions work.

Change plugin settings

Chrome uses plugins by default on a webpage unless they are a security risk.

You might see the error "The following plugins were blocked on this page" because Chrome automatically blocks some plugins. By default, you won't see plugins that are out-of-date, aren't central to the content of the website, and aren't used by a lot of programs. You can allow or block plugins at any time:

1. On your computer, open Chrome.

2. At the top right, click More Settings.

3. At the bottom, click Show advanced settings.

4. In the "Privacy section," click Content settings.

5. In the "Plugins" section, choose an option:

Run all plugin content:Chrome will run all up-to-date plugins.

Detect and run important plugin content (recommended):Chrome will run important plugins. Click to play non-essential content.

Let me choose when to run plugin content:Chrome will stop any plugins from running automatically. You can run specific plugins by right-clicking on them and choosing Run this plugin.

To allow plugins for specific websites only, click Manage exceptions.

Turn specific plugins on and off

You can turn certain plugins on and off at any time.

1. On your computer, open Chrome.

2. In the address bar at the top, type chrome://plugins/and press Enter.

3. Next to the plugin you’d like to use or turn off, click Enableor Disable.

When you visit a page with a plugin that’s turned off, you’ll see a message that says the plugin has been disabled, instead of seeing the video or audio that’s on the page.
