My mac heats when playing on web flash games even a simple Flash games.

My baby loves play flash small games on Google chrome browser its www.friv.com web site with baby small flash games and my Mac goes crazy during play :) Heats and coolers get louder and louder like he is starting to fly :) i also realize when i play integrated Mac app "chess" ( which comes with mac apps) its also do the same things.

i do not talk about Photoshop as i know its not and easy app for mac... but flash games?:( maybe its normal ?

mac is not old, its always clean and always in leather pocket, so dust is not reason.

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

I went to that web site, the site itself uses a lot of CPU. The newer MacBook Air's 2018/2019 are a very low wattage CPU mostly cooled by a heat sink with no direct fan cooling. They do get pretty warm when CPU is very busy. Especially above some of the F keys which are above the CPU and heatsink. None of the browsers today support Flash directly, other than making sure you have updated Flash my only suggestion is try another browser or find a more efficient site for gaming. Use the Activity Monitor App in MacOS to show what percent you CPU is operating at.
