Your instructions fail to match my Chrome menus = Version 72.0.3626.109 (Official Build) (64-bit).
My Preferences menu does have “Advanced” listings. It does have Content Settings, with (22) listings like Cookies, JaveScript, Flash…
but NO list for “Plug-ins”. No PLUG-IN menu, at all.
I opened and looked at each of the 22 listings and most of them have no added sites either to
“block” or to “allow”. When my computer repair guy heard that I was tired of seeing my Java update pop onscreen every hour, he said the best idea was to simply update it. Upon researching the pos/neg aspects of Java, I feel good about Java except for allowing it to be used as a plug-in in my browser. Having now loaded my newest Java app, I wish I could find and turn off the Java plug-in in my Chrome!
