How to Enable Click To Play Plugins in Google Chrome

Have you ever opened a webpage only to have all sorts of multimedia on the page just start playing? Chrome has a hidden setting that was designed to prevent situations just like that. Read on to find out how to enable it.

Enabling Click To Play Plugins in Chrome

Click on the settings wrench and select the settings menu item.

Then you will need to click on the advanced settings link.

Scroll down until you can see the privacy section, then click on the Content settings button.

A new Window will pop-up, scroll down until you see the Plug-ins section. Then change the plug-ins option from Run all plugin content to “Let me choose when to run plugin content”.

IMPORTANT!

Make sure you check the Manage Exceptions button in the screenshot above, because that will override the setting.

For Chrome, you’ll also need to head into about:plugins (literally type that into the address bar and hit Enter) and make sure that “Always allowed to run” isn’t enabled, which appears to override the click-to-play setting.

Of course you should probably just click the Disable button to make sure Flash is dead.

Now navigate to any website that requires a plugin, like YouTube, and you will have to click on the content to activate the plug-in.

That’s all there is to it.

Future king of Internet programming

What is Java to you? A programming language you learned in college? The lingua franca of corporate IT? Would you believe that Java is poised to dominate the next explosion of the Internet? Built for embedded computing and streamlined for real-time applications, here's why Java is the language for IoT.

Isn't Java too big for embedded systems?

Java wasn't always a viable first choice for embedded systems, mainly because embedded devices are often stingy on computing resources. Assembler, C, and even Python have fared better in systems with constrained memory, CPU power, or other hardware issues. This objection has largely faded away in the past few years, however, as the average size of an embedded environment has grown. Resource requirements have also shrunk with the introduction of new techniques for compiling Java for embedded environments.
