Uninstall Adobe Flash Player:

Go Here: Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS - Adobe Support

Adobe and its major vendors (i.e. Apple) are catching on to this. So expect more in time to come.

"Also, the major browser vendors are integrating these open standards into their browsers and deprecating most other plug-ins (like Adobe Flash Player).By announcing our business decision in 2017, with three years’ advance notice, we believed that would allow sufficient time for developers, designers, businesses, and other parties to migrate existing Flash content as needed to new, open standards"

Adobe Flash Player:

Apple's software is made to use flash media in its own Manor. So, if your are using a recent device, and a recent Web browser, then there should be not concern.


Keep it Off of your Mac:

I had an issue with leaving this on my Mac. As an end result, I had to reinstall the macOS anew (format and all). See here: Adobe Flash Player Uninstall Message Pops U- - Apple Community
