Flash Player debug version on New Google Chrome

If you install the latest version of Google Chrome (mine is 5.0.375.125), flash player debug version do not work in it; though the same debug player is working fine in Firefox3. Reason is that Chrome now comes pre-installed with the Flash player which get used by default, despite whatever other version you might have installed. It always use its original version. To change this, follow below steps:

- Open Google Chrome
- Type about:plugins in the url, - It will show the list of all the plugins
- Click on the "Disable" link of "Shockwave Flash" plugin

It will not disable flash, but just the built in version. Now the chrome will use the system-wide flash player version (probably the debug version).
