Apple expects to completely discontinue support for Adobe Flash in the next update of the Safari browser. Therefore, the next version of Safari will not be able to install and use Adobe Flash.
Safari for iOS does not support Flash from the beginning
Safari’s end of Flash support is not going to be a big deal, as other major browsers are no longer supporting Flash. Safari on iOS does not support Flash from the beginning, so iPhone and iPad users are not affected.
Adobe announced in July 2017 that it will stop developing, updating, and distributing Flash and Flash Player by the end of 2020. Regarding the reason for the termination, it explains that with the maturation of HTML5, WebGL, WebAssembly, etc., it is no longer necessary for plug-ins such as Flash and Shockwave to take care of displaying videos and interactive contents.
Vulnerable Flash
Flash and Flash Player have been repeatedly identified for their vulnerabilities. It’s no exaggeration to say that Microsoft and Apple have struggled with Flash security flaws for years.
It’s unclear when the next version of Safari for Mac will be released, but it is likely that Flash will not be supported.
