Update 21 Kills Flash in Safari
Hello, I have been a mac and safari user for a long time and I have never really had a large issue with flash before this past week. I recently updated my Flash Player plugin to the latest version, and since then, I have noticed flash eating up 100% of my CPU sometimes when I open tabs from various places around the web. It seems to come and go at random depending on what websites I visit, and the websites that trigger the overload seem to change every day. Below is a list of all of the things that I have tried having spent 2 hours on the phone with Apple Support. I have also included the details of my system. Any help for this issue would be appreciated.
Items Tried with Apple Support
- Restart Computer
- Clear Cache
- Clear junk files
- Cleared browser history, data, and cookies
- Force quit and restart Safari
- Uninstall and reinstall flash player
System Details
- 15" Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display (mid-2014)
- OS X 10.11.5
- Safari 9.1.1
- Flash 21.0.0.242
