Anything to replace clicktoflash?

You can still download it from the developers website. Still works just fine. When you install it safari asks to trust it or not, just choose trust.

I thought it might be a security issue since they pulled it from the app store
I want to be able to convert to html5 and then download a clip using clicktoflash
They just created a new extensions gallery. The only caveat is that Safari 9 will only auto-update extensions that are in the new gallery. Everything else has to be updated manually.
They didn’t remove it specifically. They just created a new gallery, i.e. removed all apps. Resubmitting requires a developer licence now, which probably stops many extensions from being resubmitted.
Apple thinks Safari has a massive usage share, enough to charge $99 to develop extensions. It's kinda cute
Seriously though, this is one of the main reasons I'm reluctant to upgrade to Safari 9/El Capitan on my main Mac, despite the improvements it brings. I can't even develop my own extensions for my own browser without having them automatically deleted on restart (I have a free developer certificate, and it still works just fine for Safari 8).

The developer certificate will expire soon though and it can’t be renewed. Mine expired a while ago.
I don’t know why they did it. Most extensions were hobby projects without monetary incentives. The aspect of payment completely ruins it.
clicktoflash isn't in there last I checked. I still have it in safari from before but when I uncheck the enable box and then re-enable it I get a warning about it not being from the gallery. I know they removed some apps for security reasons so I'm reluctant to use it. Hard to believe that clicktoflash is the only app of it's kind but I searched and found nothing that does what it does
I just checked, there is no more manual update selection like there used to be, for any of my extensions
Yeah, apparently that just happens automatically now. I wish there was a popup to let the user know that there's updates available.
