Blocking flash objects possible like in FF?

[Werbevorspuler]

Hi!

I use Adblock Plus under Chrome now for a while and use it under Firefox already for years. I just noticed it seems that I can't block flash objects under Chrome the same way I can under Firefox. Under Firefox a little tab appears above them when I hover with the mouse pointer over them which allows me to get the URL for blocking them.

This doesn't seem to work in Chrome yet and also when I switch in this mode where I can create new rules by clicking on areas this doesn't work with flash objects.

Is this due to limitations of Chrome and is just not possible yet? Is there a workaround for getting the URLs of flash objects? Right now I just create a filter for them in FF and copy/paste them in my Chrome list but it would be nice to have a way doing this in Chrome directly

Thanks!

+1 it would be good to avoid installing both FlashBlock and AdBlock if possible...

You need to go to the Chrome settings "Under the Hood" and under Content Settings, make plugin content "click-to-play" rather than on by default.

However, if you actually want to block a Flash object, that's a bit more difficult.

Okay, that works
