Users of one of the most popular browsers often have a problem related to the fact that the application stops its work, stopping to respond to user requests. At the same time, the inscription “The plugin crashed” appears. This problem is typical not only for Chrome, but also for all its clones created on the basis of the Web Kit engine.
If the plugin crashes annoyingly often, then you should take some action to fix this problem. It should be noted that the way to deal with this phenomenon is very simple, and it will not be difficult to master it. As a result, it will be possible to use one of the fastest browsers, forgetting about the inconvenience.
The reason for the situation when the browser crashes the plugin is the structure of its work. The fact is that all browsers, with the exception of Chrome, use the stand-alone version of the application to display multimedia on the pages of websites. It's about Adobe Flash Player. However, all software products based on the "web kit" received when creating their own integrated version of this player. As a result, in the process, the browser accesses all versions of Flash Player found in the system, which creates the reason responsible for the failure.
As a rule, in the system are two versions of the player from Adobe. This is directly built into the browser and a standalone option, but sometimes there may be more. To fix the situation in which the plug-in crashes, you should run “Chrome”, write “chrome: // plugins /” in the address bar and start the search. As a result, a list of all plugins used by the browser opens. Typically, an extension from Adobe Flash Player will be the first on the list. To get complete information about the use of this player, you need to click on "Details" - the menu item located in the upper right.
Having opened the detailed information, you should disable the plugin that is standalone. To determine it, you need to pay attention to the address at which each player is installed. The native version for Chrome will contain an indication of the Chrome folder, while the standalone version will most likely have an address starting with “C: \ windows ...”. The disconnection process occurs when you click the "Disconnect" option.
Sometimes the problem after carrying out the actions described above remains. In this case, you can try to disable the built-in plugin, leaving the stand-alone version to work, respectively. However, the use of integrated plugins has one main advantage - no need to track the release of new versions. Updating Google Chrome plugins is very simple, as the browser monitors the release of new versions, offering to install them when they appear.
In the event that the problem has not been resolved, and the message “Plug-in crash” continues to interfere with normal operation, radical measures must be taken. To do this, it is worth completely reinstalling "Chrome", removing all previously installed offline versions of Adobe Flash Player manually.
It should be noted that in almost all cases, disabling the offline version solves the problem of conflict in the system, allowing you to safely enjoy web surfing. In a similar way, problems are solved in Chrome browser-clones. It is curious that the same command is used to access them as in the browser from Google.
