How to Enable Flash on Iron

Post by please55 »

I read the overview on the differences between Iron and Chrome. It didn't mention flash was removed but I'm getting the prompt to install flash. Is it possible to re-enable flash on the portable version of Iron?

Thanks!

Thanks but I'm looking to avoid installing Flash.

I use a Firefox variant as my main browser and use portable Chrome whenever I need to watch a flash video. It leaves Flash off my system and compartmentalized within Chrome.

I thought I could switch to Iron and use that instead. Is it possible to re-enable flash within Iron and have it update itself like the Chrome version does all within the portable?

Hello,

Iron is a Chromium-based browser, and there isn't flash by default in Chromium. So, It's the same in Iron.
I'm French, sorry for my english homemade.

but, if you install adobe flash for non-IE browsers, iron will "see" it :D

Sorry a mod still hasn't let through my replies...

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't realize Flash had been stripped out of Chromium as well. That makes sense then. So sticking "npswf32.dll" as I have read elsewhere wouldn't enable flash? You would still need to make the separate install?

I don't know about the dll.
As Mapx I installed flash separately.
No problem like that.
But this isn't a portable solution. For the latter, I found it: link.
Good try. ;)
