They hung around because of Android Flash Player for a while, and then PPAPI emerged and all of a sudden, we required them again because the Native Control Panel only modifies the central settings files used by browsers with looser sandboxes. We released the native control panel back in 2010 before PPAPI was a thing, with the intention of retiring those web-based control panels. Just for some background, this is one of those things that is ugly and grew organically. Long story short, you'll need to add settings specifically for Chrome (and/or each PPAPI-based browser on your machine), and you have to do that through the SWF-based user interface, here:Īdobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Global Security Settings panel The nature of the PPAPI architecture is such that there is no way for the PPAPI Flash Player to read from the central settings files that the ActiveX and NPAPI Flash plug-ins share. It should, but the Flash Player packaged with Chrome is encapsulated from the other Flash installations on your computer.
