Flash on Chromebooks

If you use any websites that rely on Flash, such as i-Ready, you may have discovered they have trouble on chromebooks.  This is because Flash has been slowly going away for a few years now and Google finally disabled it.  They're not alone.  Apple did this with Safari in June 2016 and iPhones way back in 2007.  FireFox will be doing it in 2017.

If you need to keep Flash running on a chromebook for a bit longer, you can do it using the directions below.


  1. Open a new tab and go to "chrome://plugins".  Screen Shot 2016-09-29 at 11.21.28 AM.png
  2. Look for "Adobe Flash Player" and check "Always allowed to run".  Screen Shot 2016-09-29 at 11.22.11 AM.png
