"To date, most successful attacks against Chrome exploit Adobe Flash, which is protected by a significantly more porous sandbox."
I notice that pretty much every time I read articles about Pwn2Own and similar. It's high time that Flash was abandoned as a ubiquitous part of the web. It is to web development as Outlook Express was to desktop software in the 90s - sure it's everywhere, but it's not doing much good by being so.

- shrikant 15y agoA thousand upvotes to you for this information. If anybody else is looking, this can be done (without addons) under: [Wrench] > Settings > "Under the Bonnet" Advanced Settings > "Privacy" Content Settings > Scroll down to "Plugins" and select "Click to Play". Manage exceptions as required.
- RexRollman 15y agoThis. I used to use Flashblock with Chrome but this works just as well, not to mention being built in. I use this setting on my CR-48 (Chromebook).
