Adobe will end support of Flash Player on December 31, 2020. Here's what you can expect in the meantime for each Microsoft browser:
In the next version of Microsoft Edge (built on Chromium), Flash will be disabled by default. However, users may re-enable it on a site-by-site basis. The timeline for Chromium-based browsers can be found here.
Flash will not be disabled by default from Microsoft Edge (built on EdgeHTML) or Internet Explorer 11 prior to its removal by December of 2020.
Flash will be completely removed from all browsers by December 31, 2020, via Windows Update. Group policies are available for enterprise admins and IT pros to change the Flash behavior prior to that date.
Companies reliant on Flash for development and playback of content are encouraged to remove the dependency on Adobe Flash prior to December 2020.
Please see our blog for more information.
The settings to enable Flash are easy to set in < 30 seconds with some instructions:
Easily enable Flash in your Chrome browser settings with these steps, for all sites (Step 1-3) or for individual sites (step 1-6). Note: Settings may vary slightly depending on operating system and chrome version.
Enable Flash in Chrome On Windows or Mac
1. In the address bar, type or copy/paste this address to access your content settings:
chrome://settings/content
Tip: If that doesn’t work, try just going to your settings at chrome://settings or just click the three-dots icon for the chrome menu, and click “settings”. Then, on the main settings page, scroll down to and click “Content Settings” which is under the list titled “Privacy and Security”. If you scroll down and do not see the Privacy and Security settings list, you may need to press the small “Advanced” link at the bottom of the page to show all Chrome settings, as it may be hidden by default.
2. Click the Flash settings from the list of Content Settings.
3. Enable the switch for “Ask First”.
If you have an older version of Chrome, you may need to click the option “Allow sites to run Flash” and click “Done”.
That’s it! You have flash on now. Restart chrome and try again and you should be good to go!
If you would rather allow Flash for ONLY our customizer and not other websites, follow steps 4-6.
Allow Flash on Specific Sites by Web Address (Optional)
4. Enable flash (as per above steps) and then use the Allow section underneath to add sites to the Allow list by domain name.
5. Add [*.]ogmystyle.com in the Add a Site popup, which is our customizer app’s domain.
[*.]ogmystyle.com
Click Add to apply the permission. You can also add any other websites you would like to add Flash permission for.
6. All Set! Try it out in a new tab.
You can close the content settings screen and open a new tab to a site you’ve allowed to test your Flash support. A restart of Chrome may not be necessary with a new tab, but it’s the safest way to make sure the plugin settings are not already cached.
Block Flash by Disabling It (Same Chrome Settings)
To disable flash, simply disable the same switch for Flash support
You may also want to remove any Allowed sites that you may have added.
Background on Flash Support Changes:
Chrome Browser Now Blocking Flash – March 2017
Recently, as of around March 2017, Chrome has started disabling the use of the Flash plugin even though Flash is installed by default and Chrome does support it. They don’t do a good job of explaining it on screen, at all, either, so most companies have transitioned from flash to HTML5 (not all – for example HBO GO uses Flash player for millions to watch Game of Thrones). But, without iPhone support and now Chrome defaulting to disabled, Flash is now being forced to step aside for HTML5 / Javascript.
Why Are They Doing This?
It’s a long story involving Steve Jobs / Apple, and Adobe. Long story short, Google is now leading the final charge to move towards HTML5 standards as is the new mobile-compatible standard. This is incredibly annoying for good flash apps like the Customizer! Flash now has to be manually enabled if you haven’t used it before (per website). Once they allow our customizer URL, the Flash customizer will be allowed to run on any website they use it on. (instructions below)
What Happens Exactly?
When Flash is blocked by Chrome even though it does have Flash supported, our HTML5 Customizer will run instead, as it does for all mobile users that don’t have Flash at all. Desktop users will often get the non-Flash HTML5 version in Chrome, unless they have either used it before the new Chrome settings, or if they’ve allowed Flash to run in the Chrome settings.

As of this writing, the main features that are not yet supported on HTML5 are Patterns and Monograms. The HTML5 Customizer DOES support uploading images, adding text, backgrounds, foregrounds, fonts, drag and drop editing, and all the core features that are most important for the majority of personalization sites. Our roadmap currently includes adding support for Patterns and Monograms in Q4 unless otherwise prioritized by a custom development collaboration with a client or developer.
