How to check for Flash Player in your browser

Finding out whether Flash Player is installed in your browser is quite simple. To do this, you will need to follow the recommendations described below.

Option 1: for browsers based on the Chromium engine

First of all, you need to separate the group of browsers for which Flash Player is already installed, which means there is no need to install it additionally. These browsers include almost all web warmers created based on the Chromium engine. Such browsers include Google Chrome, Yandex.Browser, Amigo and others. If you are a user of one of these web browsers, rest assured, the plugin is already installed.

You can verify this if you click on the menu button of your Internet browser in the upper right corner and go to the section "Settings".



Go to the very bottom of the page and click on the button "Additional".



In the block "Privacy and Security" click on the button "Content Settings".



Find the section "Flash" and select it.



Make sure you have the option active “Allow Flash on sites”. If necessary, make changes to make the plugin work.

Option 2: for IE, Mozilla Firefox and Opera

If you are a user of the Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Opera web browser, then you need a separate installation of Flash Player as a program.

To check in this case whether Flash Player is installed on your computer, open a window on your computer "Control Panel" and go to the section "Programs and Features".



If you see Flash Player in the list of installed programs, it means the program is installed on your computer.
