One huge benefit of destroying the Google Chrome Helper? It should keep Flash ads from auto-loading without having to install an ad-blocker. Any embedded Flash, Java, Quicktime, DivX, or Silverlight content on a webpage will appear as a grayed-out space until you click on it to load the player and the content. This is essentially the same thing as configuring email to load images only when you click a “load images” link. About halfway down the content settings list is a “Plug-ins” entry, which will likely be set to “Run automatically.” Instead, select “Click to play.” Duplicate the file .ist and rename the duplicate to 2.ist 5. In the Chrome menu, go to “Preferences,” scroll all the way down in the menu, and click on “Show advanced settings…” The first item in the expanded advanced settings list will be “Privacy,” and click on the “Content Settings” button right under that. Go to the username > Library > Preferences folder (use the Finder’s Go menu and hold the Option key to reveal the Library).
You’ll have to dig a couple of levels deep into your Chrome settings.įirst, shut down all your Chrome windows without quitting the program. Deactivating it isn't entirely intuitive, though-there's no mention of the Helper outside of your Activity Monitor and forum complaints. You'll just have to opt in to view plug-in content on a case-by-case basis. Disabling Helper's auto-helping is easy, and it won't prevent you from using plug-ins.
