Flash Player Macos



The Best Mac Video Player, Without Doubt - Elmedia Player. Our top spot for the overall best free video player for Mac goes to Elmedia Player. First off, it supports a wide range of different media formats like MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, FLV, SWF, WMV, MP3 and more without any need for additional codecs or plugins. The Adobe Flash Player is a widely distributed proprietary multimedia and application player created by Macromedia and now developed and distributed by Adobe after its acquisition. Flash Player runs SWF files that can be created by the Adobe Flash authoring tool, by Adobe Flex or by a number of other Macromedia and third party tools.

Flash player, if supported in Catalina, would appear in Safari Preferences → Websites, in the sidebar. Also, you can see a separate entry for it in macOS Preferences.

In this step-by-step guide, learn how to uninstall or remove Adobe Flash Player from your Mac computer, and delete any additional related files.
