[Cialug] Google Chrome on Debian

[Matthew Nuzum]

Chrome includes Flash built in, which is both a blessing and a curse. I
have flash disabled unless I click to enable it. I did this in Settings ->
Content -> scroll down to plugins and then check "let me choose…"

This has helped my computer immensely, though it's been a long time since
I've had a crash. It has helped my cpu and battery usage a lot.

If this helps you then it may be a problem with a plugin, not the browser,
and the most troublesome plugin I've used is Flash.
