The free Google Chrome Web browser includes its very own integrated version of Flash. “But wait,” you say, “my kids will kill me if they can’t play those Flash-based Disney games.” Not to worry, there is an easy solution, thanks to Google. This completely removes Flash from your operating system, making it impossible for an attacker to target it. The first step is to uninstall Flash by using Adobe’s official uninstaller application. This is both easier and requires far less fuss going forward than you might think, and it is how I’ve been using my Mac for the past year or so. Instead of leaving Flash on your Mac, you can instead isolate it and thus reduce the attack surface available to the bad guys.
