While Apple does block older, vulnerable versions of Flash in the Safari browser on macOS, you should do yourself a favor and remove Flash Player from your Mac using step-by-step instructions provided in this tutorial.

How to remove Adobe Flash from your Mac

1) Navigate to the /Applications/Utilities/ folder on your Mac and launch the Adobe Flash Player Install Manager app.

Tip: If you don’t see the app and are positive that Flash Player is in fact installed on your Mac, download the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller from Adobe’s website.

2) Click the Uninstall button to begin the process.

3) Type the administrator password for your OS X user account and click OK to continue.

Flash Player is now being uninstalled from this Mac. You cannot cancel the uninstaller at this point. Don’t restart or turn off your computer until the uninstaller finishes.

Compared to Flash for example however, Shockwave is quite resource heavy. Configure adobe reader for chrome. Installation is very quick and you should be seeing content within a few seconds of restarting your browser.

4) After the uninstaller removes Adobe Flash software from your computer, click Done.

And that’s all there’s to it, folks!

Living in a Flash-free world!

Congratulations, your Mac is now Flash-free and your computer is no longer prone to Flash vulnerabilities—even if you try to access Flash content in a browser—as long as you don’t reinstall Flash Player.

Don’t you shed a tear—you’ll be better off without Flash altogether!

Verifying that Flash Player uninstallation is complete

After running the uninstaller, your system should be free of Flash Player and its associated web plug-in. To verify that Flash uninstallation has been completed successfully, first restart your Mac by choosing Restart in the Apple menu.

Then, open your browser and check the status of Flash Player on Adobe’s website. If Flash Player is no longer installed on this Mac, the page will produce an error message.

Accessing Flash content without Flash Player

As we mentioned, you can watch virtually any video on the web without needing Flash Player.

In moving away from Flash-encoded video, web developers have embraced HTML5 video en masse. For starters, HTML5-based video works in any modern web browser without needing a dedicated plug-in.

In addition, HTML5 video takes advantage of your computer’s chips to decode content in hardware. Not only does that allow for smooth video playback than in Flash Player, but also does so in a power-efficient manner that helps conserve energy.

With that in mind, if you stumble upon a piece of Flash content on the web that you want to view but hate the idea of re-installing Flash Player, simply use Google Chrome for these purposes. Google’s browser has built-in Flash Player, but it’s sandboxed to prevent Flash vulnerabilities from affecting the rest of your system.

macOS blocks outdated Flash versions

Out-of-date versions of Adobe Flash Player that do not include the latest security updates are automatically disabled in Safari by macOS to help keep your Mac secure and help limit exposure to potential zero day exploits from web plug-in enabled content.

If you see the message “Blocked plug-in,” “Flash Security Alert” or “Flash out-of-date” when attempting to view Flash content in Safari, that’s Apple warning you that you’re using an out-of-date version of the Adobe Flash Player plug-in on your computer.

Due to a new issue with the latest MAC OS X Flash Player (Flash Player 25.0.0.148 at the time of this article), users on a Mac using Firefox or Safari web browsers may get a warning when trying to launch the Connect Meeting Add-in. The Flash Player team has identified the issue and it will be resolved with the release of Flash Player 25.0.0.159 for MAC OSX (date of release: April 20, 2017). You can obtain this release of the Flash Player on April 20th by going to: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/.

The error message wording and button options depends on your Mac System Preference -> Security & Privacy settings: If you have “Allow apps downloaded from” set to “App Store and identified developers“, then you won’t see an OK button (and the Connect Add-in won’t open). MacOS 10.12 (Sierra) Apple has removed the “Anywhere” option for the ‘Allow apps downloaded from:’ option in the Security and Privacy settings (though, there is a way around it with terminal commands: http://osxdaily.com/2016/09/27/allow-apps-from-anywhere-macos-gatekeeper/).
