In addition, from Chrome's setting screen, Flash display is displayed from four kinds of setting "Always allow Flash" "Asking whether to run Flash every time", "Execute Flash only for the site that permits it", "Do not allow Flash" It is also possible to select about permission.


Also, clicking the download link of Flash Player will bring up a screen asking "Whether to allow Flash Player" before download starts.


However, only top 10 specific sites such as YouTube, Facebook, Yahoo.com, Amazon.com, etc. will run Flash for 1 year. In Japan, Nico Nico Douga depends on Flash, and we will be waiting for future response.
