The procedure for the current version of Chrome is detailed below.
chrome://flags
and verify the the following are set to Default : Prefer HTML over Flash and Run all Flash content when Flash setting is set to “allow”chrome://components
and under Adobe Flash Player, click Check for update and wait for it to finishMore detailed instructions with screenshots can be found in this article.

1The Flashblock Chrome link appears to be dead. :( – ArtOfWarfare – 2016-05-04T13:35:18.320
Google Chrome blocks flash by default now. Even if the URL for Flashblock Chrome wasn't dead, it probably wouldn't work on modern versions of Chrome. – Stevoisiak – 2017-05-14T00:46:51.190
1Wow, Flashblock seems like just what I'm looking for. NoScript is a bit overkill. – Stevko – 2011-05-20T18:25:18.203

In addition to aforementioned solutions, for Firefox there is a native (built-in) one too:
Click on the icon in the beginning of the address bar in Firefox
And now you have full control over this page.
This is very useful if you simply want to disable Flash Player on a specific site. – I say Reinstate Monica – 2015-06-19T15:08:50.337
Chrome has a very similar mechanism as of the time of writing this comment. – Robert Gowland – 2015-12-18T04:18:47.437

For those using Opera who wish to do the same thing, you can shut off plug-ins (which includes Adobe Flash) for any web site by following these simple steps:
To enable again, repeat the above steps but read step 4 above as "Enable" instead of "Disable."
How do I allow flash from my pc but not from the internet? – Efekan – 2017-05-14T23:38:01.480
@Efekan: This is by site, so allow the local URL but not the Internet one. – harrymc – 2017-05-15T05:55:53.760
I tried doing what you do and it works for single flashes. It's been added in the settings menu like so
file:///D:/swf/myswf.swf
. But I couldn't manage to get it working on a folder. What i want is something likefile:///D:/swf/*
or justfile:///D:/swf
. Whenever I add it likefile:///D:/swf
it changes it tofile:///swf
. – Efekan – 2017-05-16T14:03:08.420Interesting: (1) Does it work at all for local content? (2) Does
file:///swf
work? (3) Try to use point 8 (Manage exceptions) with an asterisk. – harrymc – 2017-05-16T15:58:15.577(1) It works when you give in the exact name e.g.
file:///D:/swf/myswf.swf
. (2)file:///swf
does not work at all. Tried putting the flashes on my two drives.C:
andD:
inside swf folder both didn't work. (3)file:///*
does not work. Whenever I type infile:///D:/*
it shows it as valid but when I press Enter key it removes theD:
part and just becomesfile:///*
. Same issue withC:
– Efekan – 2017-05-16T16:08:44.303@Efekan: I have seen reports that the Chrome developers don't like local content for Flash. So that option might be suffering neglect. You might need to move on to another browser. – harrymc – 2017-05-16T16:16:40.250
