With today's release, Chrome now blocks certain HTTP file downloads.Ĭases where Chrome will stop downloads include when a user is accessing a web page that starts with HTTPS, but the file is downloaded from an URL starting with HTTP. In Chrome 88, Google has also finished a plan it began last year. To do that, follow the steps listed below. The only way to get rid of this issue is to perform an update to the Chrome browser and update Flash Player Chrome. If the Google Chrome browser is not up to date, then you can face this issue.

FTP support is also goneīut today's Chrome 88 release also comes with other features, deprecations, bug fixes, and security patches. Note: Normally, Google Chrome should update by itself whenever a new important update is available but this behavior might get overridden by a manual setting or 3rd party app. Speaking at a conference in February 2018, Parisa Tabriz, Director of Engineering at Google, said the percentage of daily Chrome users who've loaded at least one page containing Flash content per day went down from around 80% in 2014 to under 8% in early 2018, a number that has most likely continued plummet since.

Apple and Mozilla have also stopped supporting Flash, and Microsoft is scheduled to end support later this month.Ĭurrently, according to web technology survey site W3Techs, only 2.2% of today's websites use Flash code, a number that has plummeted from a 28.5% figure recorded at the start of 2011. The decision was made together with Adobe and other browser makers such as Apple, Mozilla, and Microsoft, in 2017. Google is not alone in its move to remove Flash. This computer will no longer receive Google Chrome updates because macOS 10.6 - 10.12 are no longer supported.
