Flash Player For Games? - BFritz21 - 10-15-2020

When I ran a cleaner on my Mac, it deleted the Flash Player, so now I can't play games on here.

I tried downloading it, and it says it's installed, but how do I get it to work on this site?

I appreciate any help!

What version of Safari are you running.  If it is 14 Flash Player is no longer supported. To determine your browser version click Safari at the top of the browser then About Safari

Quote:Apple Safari version 14, released for macOS in September 2020, will no longer load Adobe Flash Player or play Flash content.

So you may have to install another browser if you want to install and use Flash Player. My browser of preference has been Firefox for many years. Firefox is removing Flash Player support in January 2021 so that would not be a long term solution anyway. I never install Flash Player because it has a long reputation as a security risk and now that Adobe is dropping it at the end of the year and planning to no longer update it, I see it as a continued security issue.

That's why I can't play the games here. But if you are looking for games like that to play online there are a ton that don't use Flash Player. They use HTML 5 and should be compatible with all modern browsers. Here are some examples of a sites with HTML 5 games:

https://html5games.com/
https://m.fog.com/

Anyway Flash Player is going poof and I imagine support for it will be dropped in browsers across the board.

Thanks.  Might as well wait it out then.

I'm going to be sad for a while that I can't try to beat my own record!
