I have a Dell EMC2 SAN/NAS Gen 8 box that requires Flash to get into the config area.
what am i supposed to do? There should be a way to continue to use this for legacy devices (this device isn't THAT OLD)

what's the alternative?

    The optimal solution would be to get a firmware update from Dell that removes the Flash dependency.   We announced this change in 2017 to give the industry time to adjust accordingly. 

     

    Here's the announcement from 2017:

    Short of that, the enterprise enablement feature might be interesting; however, Safari, Firefox and Chrome have all dropped support for brower plug-ins at this point.  IE and Edge aren't too far behind.  You're going to be hard pressed to find a browser that will run Flash in a few months.
