If not we are also going to handle this use case. You should have a chrome browser installed in your device. Implementation ‘androidx.browser:browser:1.0.0’ Let’s implement a sample application to explore this library.Firstly, add the dependency

It has Google’s Safe Browsing which protects the user from dangerous sites Callback to activity when any external navigation happens Same benefits a user will get in chrome custom tabs We can say if you logged in to the medium website using chrome browser then moving to the medium website in chrome custom tab will take you as a logged in user. It also provides us with an authentication system.

I had every intention of killing Chrome’s Flash plugin the same way I do Safari’s, but I just couldn’t figure out a way to use Shockwave Flash (Chrome Plug-In Host) (i.e., its Process Name as reported by Activity Monitor), which is why I had to resort to the slightly(!) less elegant commands you see above.Īs ever, if you’ve any questions or tips on how to make this faster, smaller, etc., please let me know.Chrome Custom tabs are fast because it provides us with a pre-start and pre-fetch of content. (No, I don’t usually run both browsers at once, but by coding it this way I have to remember just one command - kf - irrespective of which browser I’m currently using.) If neither browser is the frontmost app, then the script effectively does nothing.

Here’s my updated AppleScript: tell application System Events to set webBrowser to name of first processĭo shell script killall -9 WebKitPluginHostĭo shell script ps ux | grep -E 'lash Player Pluginįor Chrome' | awk '' | xargs killīecause it’s very likely you’ll invoke the script while cursing at your unresponsive browser, the script simply checks to see which is the frontmost app, and if the frontmost app is either browser, then it kills that browser’s Flash plugin. (In either case, the plugin is restarted automatically whenever you (re)load a page with Flash.) Since making those comments I’ve grown the idea a bit and now my kf LaunchBar action checks to see which browser - Safari or Chrome - is having trouble with Flash, and kills the appropriate plugin. Actually, you maybe could use my linked-to solution together with TextExpander (i.e., have kf expand to killall -9 WebKitPluginHost). I normally would refer to my Use LaunchBar to execute, in the background, commands via a shell piece, and tell you to alias killall -9 WebKitPluginHost to kf, but do shell script uses the Bourne shell, which doesn’t recognize aliases.

You guys aren’t already doing this? I actually take it a step further and use a LaunchBar action (that I named kf) to kill the plugin with just a few keystrokes (i.e., I saved do shell script killall -9 WebKitPluginHost to kf.scpt in LaunchBar’s Actions folder). A few weeks ago I linked to a Macworld article that described how to restart Safari’s Flash plugin without quitting the browser, and said the following:
