Make sure you really need it before downloading.


I have a 2017 iMac running Mojave that I bought in late 2018. As a test during setup, I did not install Flash, Silverlight or any other video player. I can watch any web video except for the occasional holdover Windows Media file, where neither Flash or Silverlight help.


That was almost two years ago and I have yet to find any need for a video player. Everything just works. So make sure—don't assume—that you need Flash.
