Adobe Flash Player not working on Safari Version 14.0 (14610.1.28.1.9)

I need Flash Player for a photo editor I'm using, I'm in the middle of a big project.

I updated Safari to Version 14.0 (14610.1.28.1.9). Now I find this version is not supporting Flash and I cannot use the photo editor. Help. How do I revert back to my previous version of Safari?

Apple no longer offers an older version of Safari for download after 14.0 was released. Assuming you have a backup (Time Machine or other kind) you would restore from that backup.


Why on earth are still using Flash? It is the most dangerous, most hacked, most vulnerable piece of code on the planet. In 2007 Steve Jobs banned it completely from iOS and no iPhone or iPad has ever supported it, period. Adobe itself is ending development at the end of this year because it’s obsolete and they could never get it secure enough. It kept getting compromised. Flash was abandoned in favor of HTML5 years ago by competent developers who value their customer’s privacy and security.

Thank you for your response/answer. You inquire why I still use Flash. As I said in the first sentence, "I need Flash Player for a photo editor I'm using". I have no choice until they offer something comparable w/o Flash by the end of the year. I already was aware of the info on Flash you provided. But since the project was started in this photo editor, I needed to complete it asap in the same editor. I'll try the Time Machine route. Appreciate your answer
