Very likely not since almost everybody has moved on from Flash. Even its creators recommend you remove it since security risks were found.


To uninstall Flash Player on your Mac read this web page -->

https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html

Click “Uninstall” when prompted by Adobe in Flash Player, or follow these manual uninstall instructions https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html


Even if you want Flash Player on anything, it won't work anymore:

Adobe Flash Player EOL General Information Page - https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html

"To help secure your system, Adobe blocked Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021."
