Update Chrome Flash to 10.2

Flash 10.2 has recently been released providing a far better user experience to Flash users, knocking down the CPU resources with some reports saying it dropped their CPU use from 50-80% to 5-15%. A worthwhile upgrade indeed! Sadly, Chrome uses a dedicated, preinstalled Flash player unable to be easily upgraded with the usual download and install method. Some reports state disabling the currently installed flash and installing the 10.2 update works, while others (such as myself) have had trouble with that. This is a surefire way to upgrade Chrome's Flash Player to 10.2!

How to-Install the Flash 10.2 Beta on Chrome (32 Bit Windows...)-

Download and Install the Flash 10.2 player for Other Browsers from this link.

Next, locate the file NPSWF32.dll in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash

Copy it.

Go to C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\CurrentBuildNumber and find the file GCSWF32.dll

Rename it to GCSWF321.dll (for safekeeping)

Paste the NPSWF32.dll file here and rename it to GCSWF32.dll

There you go, you updated Chromes Internal Flash to 10.2 :)

To make sure you have it working correctly go to about:plugins and find flash and look at its details.

Chromes my main browser. IE 9 is my secondary (if websites would start prioritizing Chrome instead of IE as their default browser to work around Id be happy. But they wont for obvious reasons).

Oh and Chrome Dev too ;) Not that stable bullcrap lol

Chromes really the only Browser needed now. The speed of the dang thing alone makes it worth the switch

Seems more like the AOL-browser... Too much stuff that's not needed. Without Facebook, that browser seems like it would be like any other browser.
