Disabled ALL plugins on Chrome about a month ago and barely noticed any change.
Seriously advice everyone in favor of disabling all plugins now.

- zodiakzz 12y agoI'd leave Google Update and Chrome PDF Viewer enabled.
- medecau 12y agoI still get Chrome updates. I don't have "Google Update" as a plugin.
- MichaelGG 12y agoWhen I switched to Firefox from Chrome, Flash didn't come with it, and I left it like this. In the very rare case, I pop open IE or Chrome. Works great!
- fpgaminer 12y agoAgreed. Oddly enough, one of the only website I have to open Chrome (which has Flash installed) for is ... Google Music. It has an HTML5 setting, but that seems to do nothing.
- wjoe 12y agoAs far as I know, the HTML5 option for Google Music does work in most browsers, but not Firefox. Apparently this is because it needs MediaSourceExtensions with HTML5 MP3 support, neither of which are in Firefox currently - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=911837 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=911837
- tombrossman 12y agoCurious, why not switch to Chromium instead? You would still want to disable plugins as you do now, but is there an advantage to using Chrome over Chromium once plugins are factored out?
- michaelt 12y agoIf you're on Windows or Mac, there's no official binary download for chromium - you have to download it from a third-party blog or build it yourself. The situation is better on Linux, as several distros include chromium packages.
