If you’re anything like me, you’ve gone through your share of browsers through the years. I can almost remember a time where I could speak fondly over each and everyone of them.
My latest browser of choice is Chrome (by Google) and it’s actually not too bad. My biggest gripe with Chrome is really only when I watch hulu. It’s incredibly annoying to watch a movie and have the video lag (while, in my situation, the audio still plays).
The Solution:
1. Go to your Chrome browser’s URL bar and type “chrome://plugins/”
2. Look for an entry labeled “Adobe Flash Player.” Thankfully, this is usually the first plugin listed. Now, you should see (behind Adobe Flash Player) the number of files associated with it. There should be 2-3 files here. If you don’t see the ability to enable or disable each individual plugin file, go to the top right hand side of the window and click on “Details.”
3. Look at the entries and find “location:” information for each one. You should find that one or two of the files has “Google\Chrome\Application\” as part of its location path. One file should be the flash file for your computer system and not a plugin specific to Chrome, this file location will have no mention of Chrome in it.
4. Now disable all the files (under Adobe Flash Player) that mention Chrome in its location path. You should have one Flash file enabled at the end.
5. Enjoy hulu lag free. Okay, that’s an assumption that you did this right and, also, that you don’t have your computer cranking overtime. In the end, sometimes it’s easier to revisit other browsers when you do certain things.
