Updating Adobe Flash Player in a macOS Catalina environment

does anyone use Smilebox as it will no longer work without Adobe Flash

I would like to in stall adobe flash player on my Mac OS Catalina

Not true, it's been 64 bit for quite some time.

It works with Safari too, and unlike Chrome, Safari doesn't share and sell your data to the rest of the world.

My problem is that I use Smilebox and it will no longer work with macos Catalina 10.15.1

Does anyone else work with Smilebox and have an answer?

Smilebox does not provide any answer so I am at a loss!

It's version 32.0.x and it's 32 and 64bits compatible.

I've been looking for the reference to include here but cannot find it right now.

I've read that as of MacOS Catalina, Adobe Flash is neither supported nor required. Safari uses some other newer technology instead. Further, I believe as of 2020, Adobe will no longer offer Flash to anybody.

Personally, I prepared for MacOS Catalina by removing Flash while I still had MacOS Mojave installed.

I did not think to do that before upgrading.

I don't know what "that" means.

Is it too late to remove it?

I don't know what "it" means. But if you're thinking of retrograding away from MacOS Catalina, that is almost certainly the wrong approach.

As dialabrain correctly stated, almost no sites use Flash any more. There is some better approach out there to your issue, but you have not stated what your issue might be.

I followed the information from the link.

If it doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you. I'm not computer savvy. Another thing, I try to stick to links provided by Apple and not third party links that offer downloads. Calling Apple tech is helpful too.

You can still use and install Flash in chrome. It still works. I'm still using it. Google blocks flash by default. You must override it on a site by site basis.

I prefer Flash in Chrome for streaming especially with BT because there are fewer problems with BT devices getting out sync between audio/video tracks.

1. Install Flash
2. Visit your URL
3. In the address bar to the left of the URL, there will be a padlock (see screenshot)
4. Tap on the padlock
5. The 'Flash' dropdown box will default to ask (this means that Flash isn't going to run and you probably aren't going to see the prompt)
6. Change the prompt to 'Allow'
7. You will be asked to reload the page
8. Reload the page

Now, You can configure the settings for the page so that Flash will always load BUT google in its infinite wisdom will reset these especially for Flash so be prepared for Flash to just stop working. I don't know if this is because server IPs change or what.
