We have known for years that the end of was yet to come , Adobe, the company responsible for its development and maintenance, announced towards the end of 2018 that it was declaring its software obsolete. And the date has arrived, with the beginning of 2021 it is time to uninstall Flash from our machines.
A necessary removal for safety
What was once one of the main technologies on the Internet is no longer supported. Some time ago, partly thanks to Steve Jobs's decision not to include this technology in the iPhone and iPad, we see how Flash Player is less and less used. In fact it is very likely that many of us do not even have it on our teams , but it is a good time, with the security in mind , that we review that it is. We do so:
- We open a new Finder window on our Mac.
- We enter the Applications folder .
- We open the Utilities folder .
- We run Adobe Flash Player Install Manager .
- We choose Uninstall .
Adobe strongly encourages all users to immediately uninstall Flash Player to help protect their systems. Some users may still see reminders from Adobe to uninstall Flash Player from their system.
