Having flash player 10.1 released  the next stable version of Chrome 5.0.375.90 comes integrated with Flash Player plug-in.I had already mentioned the advantages of using Chrome with built-in flash player .If you are using beta and developer channels  of Chrome you don’ t need to update Flash Player plug-in manually, Chrome will does it for you.

As with flash player 10.1 released all Chrome versions will come with integrated with flash player plug-in.

Since Chrome user has already flash-player plug-in installed,you need to disable either built-in flash player plug-in or system plug-in.

It is recommended not to disable integrated flash player  because

  • Chrome automatically updates Flash player when new update is available to keep you secure.
  • Moreover Chrome uses built-in flash player by default even though multiple  flash player plug-in are enabled in your Computer.
