Nevertheless, flash SWF cache is not always a bad thing because sometimes you may want to save those useful and pretty animations from your IE cache and then convert them to other video formats with SWF to Video Converter.

The Dev version of Chrome for Mac is available for downloading long time ago, however, it doesn’t support flash playback. Now, comes the good news! The latest Chrome for Mac gradually begins to support flash by manual settings.

Here are the procedures:

1. Download the newest Chrome for Mac;

2. Unzip the downloaded Chrome-Mac.zip file;

3. Use parameter “-enable-plugins” to open the flash plugin in terminal. For example, suppose your folder is under “Downloads” folder, the command is like this:

~/Downloads/chrome-mac/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium –enable-plugins(don’t forget the “~” in the very beginning);

4. Done!

Now enjoy the smooth flash playback on your Google Chrome broswer and have fun!
