Stop Auto Play Audio Flash Ad on Chrome Browser

Don't you just hate to hear audio Ad on a website you visit? Especially, the strong India accent that drive you nut? You can't even understand what the voice said.

It's called Flash AudioAds that will automatically play when you load the page. For example, I often find news on Google News and land on website like TechTimes dot com. It automatically play the annoying audio which I can't turn off. It's very annoying.

As you can see in the screenshot, you see a speaker icon in the tab. It's a Flash component.

In the latest FireFox browser, it automatically disables Flash plugin. However, Chrome browser by default has Flash Plugin enabled. To disable the Flash plugin and auto play audioAd, you simply type the following command in the Chrome Browser address bar.
