Well, after all, this is a stable channel update thread.
Perhaps the question deserves and is better suited for its own thread.

This release (25.0.1364.172) contains stability improvements, and a new version of Adobe Flash. Full details about what changes are in this build are available in the SVN revision log.

Thank you for all suggestions.

Have you tried searching (using your favourite search engine) for google chrome font rendering and see if you get some useful tips from others? It may be worth trying.

I'm seeing a little key icon in fields where I would enter a password. Did Chrome add this at some point, or is ChromeIPass doing it?

Flash Player has been updated to 11.7.700.169 so we Chrome users should be getting an update very soon.

Got it...thanks

Is anybody having a problem with Flash not loading? This just started today, and from looking at their forum, others have had it (also starting today). A common "fix" is to disable the internal pepper Flash and keep the one from Adobe, or just either one of them. But, I don't install Flash separately so I only have the bundled plugin. I hope this gets sorted out before I have to use Adobe's installer.

Edit: there was a new version of Flash released today (11.7.700.202), so I guess that's the problem. I didn't realize it would update Flash without updating the Chrome version. It's still 26.0.1410.64.

What I discovered on my setup to overcome flash not playing

PPAPI flash is updated in user data folder. So you end up with the old flashplayer in Chrome program directory and the new one in user directory.

What I do: move newest 'ppapi flash dll' from user folder to programs folder, start chrome with this switch --ppapi-flash-path, see example http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showp...23&postcount=3

I have a SRP deny, so dll is blocked by Windows OS when in user folder

Flash Player Update
Tuesday, May 14, 2013

We are currently updating Flash Player to 11.7.700.202 for Windows and Mac to all Stable channel (Chrome 26) users.

If you find a new issue, please let us know by filing a bug.

It seems chrome is back to putting PepperFlash in user space again...even on the Enterprise version. If you delete it from user space chrome will shortly copy it back there. If running SRP you'll need to create an unrestricted rule for it in Additional Rules or PepperFlash will not be able to load.

Thx, back to Chromium with --ppapi-flash-path="[PATH]\pepflashplayer.dll" and the hassle with downloading updated Chrome portable, getting pepflashplayer and pdf dll out of it and moving it to Chromium folder

Well, why don't you automate that process? Sounds like a fun project.

[SirDrexl]

Wow, it looks like I may have to set the folder to unrestricted. I tried the path thing, and it doesn't work unless I delete the files from the folder in Users. That works for a few minutes until Chrome puts them back. Sheesh.

I'm on Win 8 Pro 64 bit. Here's my Additional Rules entry for PepperFlash...

C:\Users\user-name-here\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash\11.7.700.202\pepflashplayer.dll

This works fine. You could use...

C:\Users\user-name-here\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash

with unrestricted rights, I suppose.

[SirDrexl]

Oh, by "path thing" I actually meant the shortcut with the specified path for Flash. But thanks anyway.

[new2security]

What a mess. But I suppose the next Chrome release will also contain the most updated pepperflash.

[new2security]

I just copied the pepflashplayer.dll + manifest.json from my User folder to Program Files \ Goog..\Chr..\Appl..\Pepperflash folder and flash works. I didn't need to use the special path instruction that was recommended.

-edit : darn. Chrome downloads this file again to my user folder and I have to manually delete it. The path solution doesn't work neither does allowing the pepflashplayer.dll in my SRP settings.
