In order to maintain maximum privacy of its users, Google Chrome has added a new privacy option, which lets you remove flash cookies (Flash local storage objects) from the browser. As flash cookies are entirely different from normal cookies, they are toughest to delete and can offer unlimited user tracking.

Yes, all modern browsers have option to remove browsing data and usual cookies, but currently have no option to delete flash data from them.


But, now Google has added an option to remove Flash data on recent Developer channel, Canary, and Chromium builds of Chrome.

To enable this option, go to Tools – Clear browsing data (Ctrl + Shift + Del) and check the checkbox near the middle of the dialog, which appears ‘Delete cookies and other site data and plug-in data’.
