I run Google Chrome Version 43.0.2357.124 (64-bit) on OS X Yosemite.
I want to enable Click to play option, mainly because I would like to lower the power usage of Google Chrome and Google Chrome Helper processes.
However, I cannot find it under Settings > Content settings > Plugins and it should be there according to Why does Google Chrome Helper spike my CPU? and many other webpages.
Question:
Has Google decided to removed this particular Click to play feature from Chrome or for e.g. it has moved to some other section of the Settings?
One way or another, is it possible to enable Click to play option for plugins?

Ok, so I've found it. It is not presented as Click to play any longer (it used to be in previous versions of Chrome and is still presented like this in Chromium).
If you want to turn this option on you've got to:
It seems quite obvious now, but I've been trying to find this for a few weeks by now, because it was called Click to play before.
