If you like to tweak your Chrome install, check out:
chrome://flags/#extension-active-script-permission
It adds an extra level of permission where each extension that doesn't ask for a specific website is, by default, locked out of every website, and you have to enable it manually by either clicking on it, whitelisting the websites where it can run or globally (example pic, sorry for not being in english: http://puu.sh/q5QFR/d6004da3bb.png http://puu.sh/q5QFR/d6004da3bb.png)
- emodendroket 10y agoIs whitelisting extensions possible?
- pg_is_a_butt 10y agoIs asking if whitelisting extensions is possible, possible? you're an idiot.
- wnevets 10y agoI wish this was the default.
- justinlardinois 10y agoIf it was, it would make Chrome all but unusable to a very large portion of its users. Once they realized Flash didn't work on any websites, they'd switch back to Internet Explorer or Firefox or Safari, rather than trying to figure out why it does that.
- zeta0134 10y agoI don't think this would be that big of an issue really, because Flash is built into the Google build of Chrome. It's the one "extension" that would be really easy to give a free pass on this policy. This would probably be more of a nuisance on Chromium builds.
- AWildDHHAppears 10y agoFlash is built-in to Chrome. You'll have to invent another straw man. In fact, I recommend Chrome to unsophisticated users (hi Mom!) who need access to flash content. I tell Mom to never install anything ever. (She's managed to get malware on her Mac, even though I keep reminding her not to ever click on anything that says "your computer needs updates", etc.)
- colejohnson66 10y agoBut how would adblockers work if you have to whitelist a site for it to work?
- teraflop 10y agoTechnically, Flash is a plugin, not an extension.
