Is there any way to enable flash video hardware acceleration in Google Chrome? I get up to 300% cpu usage, while playing flash video.
Using OSX 10.9.5 and latest Chrome on a MBPr 13" late 2013.
In Safari I get around 90% CPU usage. Which is bad, but not as bad.

Step 1 would be to look the status of your Chrome GPU settings.
Paste this "
chrome://gpu/
" in Chrome web address field.On my MBA 10.9.5 Chrome Version 38.0.2125.101 it looks like this
Do following:
Paste this "
chrome://plugins/
" in web address field.Disable the Chrome build in Adobe Flash player aka
PepperFlashPlayer.plugin
If you have not already have done so, get the Adobe Flash player from Adobe, that will be now used by Chrome.
