Ahead of the macOS Big Sur launch, Apple has released Safari 14 to the general public, granting Mojave and Catalina users access to the company's latest browser.
Adobe® Flash® Player is a lightweight browser plug-in and rich Internet application runtime that delivers consistent and engaging user experiences, stunning audio/video playback, and exciting gameplay.

Flash For Safari Mac
Many of the changes in the browser update are skin deep. The tab bar, for example, is redesigned to show more open pages, and displays favicons by default. Users can preview the content of pages by hovering over their corresponding tab in the bar. And the start page can now be customised with user-selected background images and links.

Adobe will stop developing Flash by the end of the year, prompting every other browser developer to remove it (kinda), not least due to its overall obsolescence and endemic security problems.
Separately, Safari 14 takes a leaf from Brave's book, allowing users to see how many trackers have been blocked through a new Privacy Report page.
