Safari no longer supports most plug-ins. To load webpages more quickly, save energy, and strengthen security, Safari is optimized for content that uses the HTML5 web standard, which doesn't require a plug-in. To enhance and customize your browsing experience, you can use Safari Extensions instead.
If you visit one of the small number of webpages that still require a plug-in to show certain content, Safari might tell you that the plug-in is missing. And after you install the plug-in, Safari might ask how often you'd like to use it, or if you want to trust or update the plug-in.
Before you can use a plug-in that you've installed, you might need to turn it on:
- Choose Safari > Preferences from the Safari menu bar, then click Websites.
In some earlier versions of Safari, click Security instead, then click Plug-in Settings. - Select the plug-in from the list on the left, then use its checkbox to turn the plug-in on or off. After you turn on a plug-in, it remains active for as long as you regularly use that plug-in on any website.
- The pop-up menus on the right turn the plug-in on or off for specific websites. If you choose Ask, Safari will ask you for permission before allowing the website use the plug-in. The pop-up menu in the lower-right corner shows the default setting for when you visit other websites that require the plug-in.

Are websites telling you to install Flash in Safari, even though you’ve already installed it? Here’s what’s going on, and how to get those sites working again.
Safari 10, the latest version of Apple’s desktop browser, does not tell websites that Adobe Flash is installed. The idea is that such sites will default to a non-Flash solution, the way they do on mobile. When this works, it’s wonderful. Playback is smoother, and features like picture in picture mode actually work. Many sites, however, don’t offer a non-Flash option, which is why you’re being told to install a program you already have.
I’ve already had problems with Pandora, NHL.tv, and WatchESPN, and I’m sure there are many other sites with problems. Here’s how to enable Flash on individual sites, so you can get back to streaming.
Open the site that isn’t working, then head to Safari > Preferences in the menu bar. Click the “Security” tab, then the “Plug-in Settings” button.
A sub-menu will pop out, showing you currently open sites alongside anything you’ve previously enabled.
Click the dropdown beside any site to enable Flash for it. Alternatively, you can tell Safari to ask you before using Flash.
At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an option for “When Visiting Other Websites”–this lets you enable Flash across the board. We don’t recommend you do this, because most of the time all you’ll be doing is enabling intrusive ads.
Browser Settings Menu
Refresh your site, and everything should now work.
If you enable the “Ask” option, you’ll see a notification like this:
It’s annoying, but it’s the only real way to ensure Flash is never enabled without you knowing about it.
Avoiding Flash is not a bad idea, by the way. We’ve suggested users disable Flash by default in their browser for a while now, because it bogs down your computer and is a common vector for malware. It would be wonderful if every site stopped using Flash. And many sites have, from YouTube to Vimeo to Netflix. Apple is, by blocking Flash by default, trying to encourage web developers everywhere to drop Flash too.
But the short term consequence is confused users, who are essentially pawns in Apple’s plan. Right now users are being told that Flash isn’t installed, even when it is. There must be a better way to get web developers to drop Flash.
