Whenever possible, it’s best to upgrade your Flash Player to the latest version of the plug-in instead. It is highly recommended that you do not override these settings, as it may prevent several potential security issues.
Support Safari for MAC (Safari 8 or above is recommended). This is done automatically unless the user specifies otherwise with the “Always allow” or “Run in Dangerous Mode” options described earlier. Release Note (V3.0.5.43 build20160118): Support MAC OS 10.8 or later version. This also has the side effect of basically acting as a Safari ad blocker (minus a special plug-in) for many animated banners and videos, although unobtrusive solid ads still come through.Īlso, with newer versions of Safari, note how older plug-ins, such as Flash Player, are automatically disabled if they are found to have known security issues. I want Flash Player set to Block All Websites and only allowed on selectively approved sites. Users who have previously had a selective Java plug-in will find that this is now part of the same general Security Settings panel. This type of Flash plug-in fine-tuning required third-party plug-ins or tools like ClickToFlash, but now the feature is built right into Safari settings and no longer requires plug-ins or plug-ins.
In general, either “Ask” or “Block” are the safest universal options, but user preferences vary
Run in dangerous mode – not recommended, bypass all Safari security settings to get Flash for free.Since Glims isnt working for Safari 8 on OS X Yosemite, Ive used this. I love the app/plugin, but after upgrading to Yosemite and Safari 8.0, I kept getting Bing results when I did searches in Safari, even though I had selected other Search Engines in Safari’s Preferences. Always allow – Flash works whenever it appears on certain websites, even if the Flash plug-in is disabled due to outdated or insecure Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later Safari 3.0.4 (4525.18) or later.Allow – Flash works whenever it is encountered on that website.Block – prevents all Flash files on the website from downloading automatically, this is mainly of the Click-To-Play type and can be skipped by selecting the Flash object and selecting Execute.Ask – Safari will ask permission to run Flash if it occurs.
