How to Fix Chrome Not Saving Flash Settings

[C~M]

Chrome has decided to NOT save any of your allowed flash site info once it is closed. To Fix this, do the following.

Open Chrome

Type

chrome://flags

into the search and click enter.

Search for

ephemeral-flash-permission

and disable it and restart Chrome.

It will now save sites as before until they update again and remove that feature.

Thanks!

You are welcome. After I did it, my sites were back in it so I didn't have to add them.

Many thanks!  That flash permission pop up was beginning to irritate me.

Many thanks!

You're Welcome.

This works nicely ... it was getting annoying fast.

Thanks C~M

Clicking constantly to give flash permission was making me quite perturbed. 


Now if there was only a way to not have Chrome update itself without asking first.  So we could say no we don't want that update.

Click on the "Windows Search" icon and type in "Services" and click on it.

Scroll down until you see "Google Update Services" and do the following for both listings :

Right click and select "Properties" and set "Startup type" to "Manual" - then click on "Apply" and reboot.

Then if you would like to manually update, type this in the Chrome URL bar : chrome://settings/help

Thank CM! You're a wealth of information!  I really hate auto-updates.

Even though I followed both the directions in this thread my Chrome Browser is back to asking for permission to allow Flash to run and its getting quite annoying.  Any suggestions on how to fix this.

Mine, too.  It has to be some kind of update they did.

In the address bar, go to : chrome://settings/content

Look for the option "Flash - Ask First" and click on the box. Then just click on the slider box to disable it.

I found a Chrome extension called Advanced Flash Site Enabler that you put in the web address of the site you want to have it enabled. They offer a free version and a paid version for 99 cents. The free one limits the amount of sites to like 3.
I think it is worth 99 cents for one year of not having to manually accept to run flash.

Doesn't my method above automatically take care of that for you?

Chrome should never ask you after adjusting that setting.

If you tick it off is says block flash.

It all started up for me again.  UGH

Weird ... I wonder if that changed in the latest version of Chrome? I'm pretty sure the option read differently when I originally posted the solution.
