Edit: My reason for the question is that a web-app, which requires Flash and Java, suddenly stopped working. So I'm looking for a quick workaround to temporarily run the old version of Chrome side-by-side with the current version. - Also for web-development I'm used to be able to do some testing with previous versions. From my experience with Firefox, I am able to do this without jumping through lots of hoops, as Firefox makes all old versions available for download! I do not understand the policy of Google in this regard.
In researching this, the top hit on Google for 'Chrome 45 Java' does not answer the issue at all: 'How to enable Java in Google Chrome 45'. Other links only recommend to switch browsers. On the StackExchange sites, I could not find this particular question or a download link to Chrome 44. The reason for asking this here, is to help users or web developers, who may be looking for the same thing and to possibly find a download source similar to the Firefox archive.

The last stable release of Chrome 44 would be 44.0.2403.157 for Windows, Mac, and Linux, as stated in this blog post: googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2015/08/stable-channel-update_20.html. As Chrome is no longer availabe from any official sources, the alternative is to look for the last Chromium 44 release in the continuous builds archive.
The direct links are:
To enable the NPAPI plugins, follow these Steps:
- Open a new tab and enter chrome://flags/#enable-npapi
- Enable NPAPI Mac, Windows: click 'Enable'
- At the bottom of the page click 'Relunch Now'
- Test with
www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
- right-click to run the plugin, and allow after prompting
Chromium will not auto-update, thus this will keep on working albeit without any security updates, so use at your own risk (better in a VM). - More versions can be found by following the step-by-step instructions for Downloading old builds of Chromium:

Chrome 44 is much harder to locate than Chromium. One way is to search for
googlechrome.dmg
on the HD or in old backups and verify the version from the Info.plist
, if you're using OS X. File Hippo lists previous versions with the correct MD5 hashes, but always links to the latest official one. This information still helps, as the MD5 can be used to find out, if an unofficial source has the original file. Here is one such file with Chrome 44.0.2403.130 on SourceForge:
sourceforge.net/projects/gnuhub/files/googlechrome.dmg/download
- The MD5 is listed here filehippo.com/download_google_chrome_for_mac/tech/62573
2E0A856BF525D196323890D72A80E902
If you trust the source of the MD5 hash, then the file should be trustworthy, but Google does not publish the hashes of their releases. The same steps can be followed to locate a windows version of Chrome 44 by searching for chrome_installer.exe

I downloaded it so I too could re-enable Flash, Java, and NPAPI plugins. It works brilliantly. Hope this helps!-str8arrow
NOTE: The only caveat: some security vulnerability(ies) were patched in v45..so I suggest using this browser with a reputable AdBlocker (like Adblocker Plus, Adblock) and a good anti-malware/antivirus combo like ESET/Malwarebytes.

Recommend Chrome v41.0.2272. This gives you clean support of NPAPI out-of the box.
In v42.0.2311, they started deprecating NPAPI, 'Support for NPAPI plugins disabled by default.' [1]
In 44.0.2403.157, you may encounter some hassles. You will have to enable NPAPI support in settings, 'Enable NPAPI Mac, Windows. Enables the use of NPAPI plugins. This flag will be removed in Chrome 45, along with NPAPI support.' There is also a 'Deprecation guide' in place. [2]
In tune with previous posts, in v45.0.2454, 'Support for NPAPI plugins permanently disabled.' [1]

Currently, Google Chrome supports the most popular plug-ins necessary to display the Web correctly, including Flash, Acrobat Reader, Java, Windows Media Player, Real Player, QuickTime, and Silverlight.
Many websites use the Java plug-in. Google Chrome requires Java version 6, update 10. Please note that this is currently a beta version and may be more unstable than some previous version of Java. To download this beta version of Java, visit http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/ea.jsp

Click the Install plug-in button to download the plug-in. The download occurs and installs silently in the background. Once the plug-in is installed, the webpage reloads to display properly. To dismiss the message, click the x icon at the end of the bar. [ Source ]
