Why is Safari now unusable?

What is the workaround for Apple’s foolish decision to drop support for flash making most websites unusable?

I am tired of being dependent on a platform with ever decreasing useability.

iPad, iPadOS 14

Apple didn't drop support for Flash. Adobe discontinued Flash and all support for it. Adobe announced this three years ago. Very few websites were still using it at the time it stopped working.

What websites are you having problems with?

What little buttons? What websites? Can you give a specific example? Flash was a framework for streaming video content.

And I cant use another browser because all my passwords are in Safari.

You can access all of your passwords through the Keychain app. You may need to copy and paste them but they are still quite usable.

You certainly can use another browser. And when you set it up, you will see that everything can be imported to the new browser.
