If you’re fed up with Flash, you can ditch it:</p> <h2 style="font-size:1.2em;">How to uninstall Flash from Mac OS X</h2> <p>You can remove the files on your own but it’s easier to just use the official uninstaller application from Adobe:</p> <ul> <li>Quit all open web browsers</li> <li>Download the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller application from Adobe <a href="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_osx.dmg">directly by clicking here</a></li> <li>From the newly mounted disk image, launch the “Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller” and click on the “UNINSTALL” button</li> <li>Enter your password when asked</li> <li>Let the application run and when finished click on “Done” or just quit the app</li> </ul> <p>Now Flash is completely uninstalled from your Mac. You may want to go one step further and <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2009/11/13/delete-flash-cookies/">delete your Flash cookies</a> yourself, since the app doesn’t always grab them on the way out.</p> <p>Personally, I keep Flash Player installed but just <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2009/09/24/stop-flash-from-automatically-loading-with-clicktoflash/">use a Flash blocker</a> so I can only activate Flash when I need it. Yes, it still causes problems, but it’s not nearly as bad as when Flash is allowed to <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/04/02/flash-is-broken-on-the-mac-the-flash-wall-of-shame/">run rampant on a Mac</a>.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/VM9JoZAPfA7r6_W87B4BCFmnttc/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/VM9JoZAPfA7r6_W87B4BCFmnttc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/VM9JoZAPfA7r6_W87B4BCFmnttc/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/VM9JoZAPfA7r6_W87B4BCFmnttc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=PqEHZaGLVr8:OghoOAIg7ME:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=PqEHZaGLVr8:OghoOAIg7ME:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=PqEHZaGLVr8:OghoOAIg7ME:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=PqEHZaGLVr8:OghoOAIg7ME:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=PqEHZaGLVr8:OghoOAIg7ME:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=PqEHZaGLVr8:OghoOAIg7ME:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=PqEHZaGLVr8:OghoOAIg7ME:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/PqEHZaGLVr8" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
