Some sites don't work without Flash and on those sites Safari will ask for permission to enable Flash. Users can select to allow Flash for once or forever. Currently Google and Mozilla do or plan to do the same in their respectively Chrome and Firefox browser.

Flash isn't the only plugin that will be banned by Apple. Also Java, Quicktime and Silverlight will get the same treatment.

Apple will release Safari 10 coming autumn together with the latest version of OS X that is now rebranded to macOS.
