I have removed Adobe flash on my computer, but I get reminders on web pages that try to get me to get Adobe flash again. I want to stop getting these reminders, as it prevents watching the movie clips without reinstalling flash. How can I stop them?
I don't want to install Adobe flash again, I don't like it.
I have Safari 8.0.5 on OS X 10.10.3
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
If a video is prompting you to download Flash player, it's probably because that video requires Flash in order to play it.
In addition to Stevejobsfan0123 you might consider an extension such as ClickToFlash

The video doesn't require Adobe flash to play it, but Flash is preventing any other video player from playing the file. This applies to all video files on the internet, that don't have a built-in player, e.g. Youtube.
Thank you. I've installed Clicktoflash. I'll see if it works.
No it didn't work. I still get the install flash to view content on the BBC News website. Thanks anyway.
BBC still uses Flash for video playback.
Thank you. Guess I'm stuck to not using Flash websites. Thank you all.

Not to quibble but ClicktoFlash works. But as QuickTimeKirkwrote BBC appears to use Flash only for their video.
As the name indicates, ClicktoFlash means you have to "Click" to view the site in Flash (assuming you installed Flash).
You can obviously read all the BBC material you want - just don't click where you see the click
Yes, I have used click to flash before so I am aware.
Also, the BBC don't use Flash, its just poor coding on their webpages that allow the Flash script to block HTML5 players with that annoying message.
There is a way to do this, but Adobe are struggling to keep Flash relevant. I think I might have to reinstall my OS, and delete the Flash files in the hidden directories. This is why you should never install Flash. It's definitely not something I will be using again.
