Disabling Flash ads in Chrome OS

Chrome OS is speedy running on the Cr-48's Atom processor, except when you're bombarded by flash ads. But the popular plugin isn't only hard on your processor, it can take its toll on your battery life too. Good thing Chrome (and Chrome OS) has a way to stop auto-loading of plugins!  Follow the steps below to disable all Flash elements on a page until they're individually clicked on:

1. Open up Settings (the wrench icon)
2. Select Under the hood, then Content Settings
3. Select the Plug-ins tab, then enable Click to play

You can even disable individual plug-ins completely! If only the world used HTML5.
