"Internet Plug-ins" option missing

I am a new MacBook Pro user. I just purchased it a couple of weeks ago. Love it. Its different than windows. I am having trouble finding the "Internet Plug-ins" everyone tells me to go to to enable the flash player that does not work on certain websites like mint.com. I go to safari preferences, but the Internet Plug-In options are neither in the security settings, nor the website area on the bottom left. HELP! I can not get this enabled. Thanks.

I have a MacBook Pro 2018 & 10.13.4

Safari 11.1

1. Install Adobe Flash Player first.

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Download it and quit Safari from Safari menu in the menu bar.

Follow the prompts to install Adobe Flash Player.

2. Safari > Preferences > Websites

Open Websites preferences pane and enable Adobe Flash Player under Plug-ins in the sidebar.

In safari preferences > websites click on drop down arrows and always choose as " on " it should not be kept as off .

So that in system library you can see the plugin details of adobe flash player .

See some articles If you’re asked to trust or update a plug-in in Safari on Mac - Apple Support

I had no plug-ins. That's why I could not see it. Mint does have flash player for the investment section with their graphs. I use Mint solely for our investments and retirement funds. It worked after downloading adobe for Mac in safari and it now prompts me to use it for that site. After downloading the most recent adobe flash player, I now have plug-ins option in settings under the website area. It is odd that it would not work in Safari until downloading adobe flash for it. Mint worked fine in Chrome on my Mac for that website under the graphs. So, I did not have to download adobe flash player for chrome on the Mac.

Thank you. I discovered that I had no plug ins...hence why I could not see them. I saw the adobe after I installed adobe flash player for safari on a Mac from their site. The investment section of Mint now works fine on safari.

You don't need Flash on a modern machine.

Adobe is ending its use later this year.

Mint pages don't use Flash that I could see.
