I have the latest generation of Mac Air 13 with i7 and 8 gigs of RAM, when chrome is running with a flash running, almost all the memory and processor load are eaten up by 70-90%, and besides, you can fry scrambled eggs on the case. When you kill a flash plugin, it drops to 10%.

How can I solve this problem and am I the only one who met it? Firefox doesn't have this problem.

I solved the problem on my 2006 macbook.
I removed the flash plugin from the system altogether, and in chrome on the chrome://plugins/ page I disabled the plugin built into chrome. Youtube and vimeo switched to html5 mode, there are no problems with watching videos.
As a result, with 2-3 chrome windows with 10-20 tabs in each, performance increased by 5 times.

Most likely, this is not because of the flash itself, but because of the crooked bydlocoders, the authors of the banners on it. I disabled flash (there are plugins that show html5 instead of flash on video hosting sites, and on other sites they allow you to turn it on with a button). I had to turn it on, I don’t even remember when, probably once a month.

Are you using zoom in chrome? My flash is terribly slow with zoom.

In chrome, go to chrome://plugins/ and find the Flash section.
Two of its variations are connected there - the built-in Chrome and the system one.
Try disabling, for example, the system one, it can help.
