The error you are getting means your path is wrong. That is, you have saved the chrome-mac folder some where other than Downloads

There is a reason, this is not enabled by default. The feature is quite unstable and clicking on the video is a sure way to crash your chrome. And once the plugin/tab crashes you might have to go to Activity Monitor to Force Quit the offending chrome processes. Keep in mind that quitting the chrome browser is not enough to kill the offending processes. So always check your Activity Monitor for any run-away, cpu-eating chromium processes if you enable flash.

how do you fix the "not able to drag slider" issue? I don't have any extensions downloaded on my Chrome and this issue just started happening about 5 days ago. From what I know, I didn't install anything! Every time I'm watching a YouTube video and click on anywhere on the video, it does nothing but pause and unpause the video. Can't even adjust the volume .

Good tip.

For those who want to know how to enable this by default, you can try writing your own AppleScript to launch the application with this extra command line option, or perhaps a shell script. The AppleScript goes something like:

do shell script "/Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS... --enable-plugins"

the shell script:
#!/bin/bash
Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS... --enable-plugins

Make sure you name the shell script file as NAMEHERE.command

The .command makes it so the terminal autolaunches the script when you double click it.

That's all if Chromium lives in the Applications folder. If not, put the correct path there.

Also, I posted a script on my blog which automatically downloads and installs the latest build into the Applications folder.

Thanks for the post. Been using the Chromium builds for 6 weeks now and have been waiting for flash support. Doesn't seem to work well with certain flash games though.

The error you are getting means your path is wrong. That is, you have saved the chrome-mac folder some where other than Downloads

Even if you get the path right, as far as I know chrome runs only on intel macs. Did you try running just the chrome app ? It should fail

@Therese youve saved chrome in a different place other than downloads

I know the difference :). But most people don't and get confused over
the differences between chromium and chrome. SO i have chosen to use
chrome instead of chromium everywhere.

You are referring to Chromium as Chrome which is incorrect.

But thanks for the tip, it's really useful
