How to Enable Adobe Flash Player for Safari on macOS

Just like Microsoft and Google, Apple has made its own browser. We are talking about Safari. The browser is exclusive to Apple’s iOS and macOS operating systems and its regarded as one of the best browsers ever made. However, unlike Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome, Safari doesn’t ship with Adobe Flash pre-installed on it.

Considering how useful Adobe Flash Player can be, Apple fans should be happy to know that they can manually enable the player to run on Safari. With that being said, let’s go over a step-by-step guide on how to install Safari on Apple’s Mac operating system.

Moreover, Apple fans can go further and select a setting to use for Flash Player whenever their visit new websites. The configuration for Flash Player can be set to “Ask, Off and On” for individual domains.
