new version of Adobe Flash Player 16.0.0.305 available for Mac. Yes, just three days ago we received a new update of the Adobe plugin for security reasons and now we received another update that fixes more problems and adds new APIs, to improve the browsing experience.
We are really flying behind the ear with this plugin and many users want it to stop being necessary at once, to surf or watch videos on the net. We always say that updates are good and we will never complain about a developer updating their software or application a lot.
The problem is that Flash Player is a real malware strainer and therefore we see that little by little it is being replaced by HTML5 which is safer for the user. Not long ago, YouTube announced the abandonment of Flash to move to HTML5 and little by little Flash will remain for few sites.
Adobe Flash Player updates usually appear automatically on our Mac through a window that warns of the new version available, but if you want to check which version of Adobe Flash Player you are in, you just have to access the System preferences and click on the flash icon, then heading to the top tab Advanced and in it you will see the updates section in which the version that you have installed on your machine appears. Remember that it is necessary to close the open search engines to carry out the installation of Adobe Flash Player.
Has the problem been fixed or is malware still creeping in?
Well, in principle it has to be solved, but from Adobe you can expect anything 😀
