Well, lets not talk about the history/legacy of Flash/HTML5 etc here. Flash has its place but its really annoying when the Adobe Flash Player updater pops in when you are working on something important and distracts you.
And even worse, you are presented with only option to Remind Me Later or Download. And if you select Remind Later option, the annoying popup returns after 60mins again.
Adobe Flash Player updates address a recently identified Adobe Flash Player web plug-in vulnerability. If you're using an out-of-date version of the Adobe Flash Player plug-in, you may see the message “Blocked plug-in,” “Flash Security Alert,” or “Flash out-of-date” when attempting to view Flash content in Safari. Some studies show that 99% of internet users have Flash Player installed on their computers. This is the best way to get all things you need from the internet. The Flash Player was first created by Macromedia and they decided to sell it to Adobe in 2005. So don’t get confused if you see it under the following name: Adobe Flash Player.
So how do I get rid of this popup?
Two options:
Either let adobe install the flash player updates automatically or disable the updates forever.
Disabling/Auto Install updates
To customise your settings for disabling updates or to enable auto installs on a Mac
Free Updates For Adobe
Goto: System Preferences -> Flash Player -> Updates
You now have option to either:
- Allow Adobe to install updates(auto install updates)
- Notify me to install updates(the annoying per 60min reminder when update is available)
- Never check for updates(I don't care with it)
Disable Adobe Flash Update
Select the one which is convenient for you.!
Hope this helps someone.!
