Hi im rather new to Mac, and hope ya'll can help! I utilize BOTH Safari, Opera. Getting weird looking Adobe Flash Player Updates (x2). Last night noticed difficulty with sound in Opera..I think! Possible Operator error! Anyway, did bit of research, Safari 10 doesnt require flash (yay!) started to delete from Mac, discovered just how invasive this software really is!
Do i need java and Flash for Opera?
If not, do still i need NPAPI Plug-ins? again x2, with Check Now for updates..
thanks for any guidance!
