The Adobe Flash player plugin is widely used all over the Internet, so it’s almost crucial that you install the Google Chrome Flash plugin if you wish to maximize your browser experience. If you’ve been prompted to install the Flash plugin but nothing happens, then you’ll need to manually install it yourself by downloading the Flash plugin from Adobe and playing a few tricks to install it into Google Chrome. No need to fear however because the installation procedure is pretty straightforward and you’ll have a Chrome Flash plugin enabled browser in no time.

  1. Download the Flash player xpi for Windows.
  2. Add a .zip extension to the file. It should now be: flashplayer-win.xpi.zip

  • Extract the contents and copy two files “flashplayer.xpt” and “NPSWF32.dll” (indicated in the screenshot below) over to C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\Plugins in XP orC:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\Plugins in Vista (thank you Derek), making sure to change ‘user’ to your Windows login name. You can avoid having to unhide hidden files in Windows Explorer simply by copying and pasting the directory path provided above into the path bar.
  • Restart Google Chrome, then see if you can watch a YouTube video to see if it worked. Or just come back to this page.

    Sergey Brin's Blogging

    Perhaps you all know Sergey Brin, the Google Co-founder. I just came to know that he’s started his own blog at http://too.blogspot.com/.

    “Welcome to my personal blog. While Google is a play on googol, too is a play on the much smaller number – two. It also means “in addition”, as this blog reflects my life outside of work.” – Sergey Brin

    The above is what the first post read. The post was dated 18th September and by that, I could just comment, despite of all the bloggers’ stuffs and services Google is providing, he is a REAL LATE BLOGGER!!! I don’t think he owns any other blogs as per Matt Cutts’s remark.
    Keeping in track of his blog, Sergey has the Google Analytics installed on his blog; perhaps knowing that a lot of people will be giving him free suggestions on Search Engine optimization or on DIY – tweaking blog template.. which would sound rather funny if for the Google creator!!
    In one of the short 2 or 3 posts at current, Sergey mentioned about the likely development of Parkinson
