Install flash player for chrome android Continue Photo: Shutterstock (Shutterstock) Whenever I have to make a download something great using my phone, or, really, download anything to my phone, I always weigh the question Will it burn through too much of my data plan? Against How much do I need this app (or game, or video) right now? While games and apps give you the ability to delay downloading until you're on Wi-Fi, rather than using your data plan to do the same for downloads started through a web browser is harder; Usually they will shoot from the minute you click on the link. Or they will, if you activate new settings in Chrome Android lets you delay them, too. You can play with this setup right now. You can find it in any Chrome beta or a slightly less stable Chrome Canary. Start by downloading any browser to an Android device. Once you've done this, type in the following URL in the Chrome address strip: chrome://flags/#download-laterIf it's too much to type, you can also just go with chrome://flags and search for word to download. However you will get there, you will need to find and turn on this flag: Screenshot: David MurphyRestart your browser. Now that you're downloading a file to Chrome (to store your phone), you should see a hint that asks you if you want to download the file now, start downloading it automatically as soon as you're connected to the Wi-Fi network, or schedule a download for a specific date and time in the future. In a report from Techdows, the feature is a bit fussy right now, they report that they've only been able to make it work once. If you don't want to fuss with this setup or can't make it work, there are a number of apps that you can use to replicate this functionality, including Advanced Download Manager and IDM. Your choice! From today, for some new devices, Adobe Flash Player will no longer be available from Google Play, marking the end of Flash's brief flirtation with Android. This means that if you want to get hold of Flash on an Android device that doesn't come with it, you need to resort to a bit of cheating. Fortunately, however, it's pretty easy to get Flash and works manually, assuming you understand the risks. Join us after the break to learn how to manually install an inherited version of Adobe Flash Player on your Android phone or tablet. Before we start, make sure you understand the risks associated with launching the now unsupported Adobe Flash on your device - there's no official Flash support on Android right now. This means that there are no more security updates or stability, no official channels of support if something goes wrong. In particular, if you're using this on an Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) device, you can probably Multiple Stability Issues The fact that security updates are no longer being developed for Flash for Android means that launching this could Open you up to security risks and malicious flash content. There's no record flash exploits specifically for Android users, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. You install the app from a third-party source, so you need to disable one of the built-in Android security options. Be sure to re-enable it then for the safety of your device. New hardware, especially android 4.1 devices, may have stability issues with flash content. That's how Flash rolls on mobile devices. Preconditions you will need a phone or tablet running Android 2.2 (Froyo) to 4.1 (Jelly Bean). Check the settings of the phone/tablet to see what you're working on. If you are on Jelly Bean, make sure that you have a stock browser installed besides Google Chrome as Chrome for Android does not support Flash. Check your app drawer for a Browser or Internet. Method Now, right down to business. The process of getting Flash for Android on a device that doesn't yet have it is pretty simple. First, you will need to tell your device that it is normal to install apps from sources other than Google Play. You will need to check the field marked Unknown Sources. On Android 2.2, 2.3 or 3.x, it's under the settings of the apps. On Android 4.x you'll find it under the security settings of the security. On your phone or tablet, download Flash to download Android apps. (Then it will download the file directly from Adobe.) Once this is done, clear the notification area and click on the file to install it. Click Set on the next screen to confirm. When Flash is installed, head to the phone's stock browser (again, Google Chrome won't support your newly installed Flash APK). On Android 3.0 or later, go to the menu (three points next to the address rack on some phones) qgt; Settings for Advanced zgt; Enable plugins. To enable Flash content all the time, select Always on, or include it selectively on each page, select On Demand. Or on Android 2.2 or 2.3 go to the settings menu (sometimes the menu of the more zgt; Settings) where you'll find the Option to Enable Plug-ins. Now you have to be ready to go. Check this link on your phone to confirm that Flash is up and running. Finally, once it works, you can undo the Unknown Sources option again to keep your phone or tablet safe. So you have - Flash support on your Android device. Flash on mobile devices has never been perfect, but on the right hardware Flash 11.1 for Android will give you a decent experience. Remember, however, that Flash was taken out of the Google Play Store for a reason - it is no longer officially supported, so keep this in mind as you view Flash content on your phone. There are many great extensions for the Chrome browser. They work on Chrome for your desktop or yours and can do anything from checking for the best price on Amazon to keeping you safe from bad ads. Almost everyone has an extension or two that they wouldn't want to be without. But not all extensions are great. No one wants to see those that aren't great, and try to do something like change your first default page or change search settings to allow developers of those who often resort to a bit of social engineering to get them installed. Google is going to end the biggest offender when inline installation extensions are blocked this December. Read more: The best Chrome extensions you didn't know about, but should use That doesn't mean any extensions are removed or anything like that. Installing an inline means you can click and install an extension from a third party website. You still need to approve the installation and the files themselves still come from Google via the Chrome Web Store. You are just clicking to start the process from another website. An inline installation can result in installing something you really don't want or installing something that can be misleading. This is because the developer can put any description they like on a third party web page, but the Chrome Store list requires things like screenshots and a full description. Google is very clear about why this is done. This change goes in three waves starting today. Any new extensions from today can't be installed without visiting the actual Web Store list. On September 12, 2018, all extensions will need to be worked out in the Chrome web store. To ensure compliance, Google forces you to install requests from outside the Chrome Web Store to redirect users to the actual ad in the new tab instead. Finally, in December, when the Chrome 71 is released in a tray-carrying API installation will be removed from Chrome forever. Developers will need to update any third-party links to point to the store list before then, because the API depreciation will also disable any automatic redirection during the installation process. Google can keep malicious extensions out of the Chrome Store and prevent any normal installation of them by doing so (you can sideload any extension through the developer's settings). What it can't do is police what developers write outside the store, which may not be an accurate description of what's actually going to happen. You'll still be able to use the same Chrome extensions that you're using today, and things will be a little more transparent for new ones that you'd like to try. We call it a win-win. First there were Pocket Legends, then Star Legends appeared. Today sees the latest efforts of MMORPG from Spacetime Studios, Dark Legends, Google Play Store. It also claims to be the first game of its kind to run simultaneously mobile and desktop versions. It is also in the Google Chrome store, on Mac, PC and Linux.

If you've played Pocket or Star Legends - and there's a good chance that you have - then you'll feel at home.

First impressions are good, with familiar gameplay taken in a new direction with an undead twist.
