      Chrome and any other Chromium based browsers based on the most recent version will behave the same. Other browsers like Firefox will probably start doing the same sooner or later.
      Flash is in its ending process, so sites should start adapting to it.

        @operaturbosucks Unless you have enabled it by yourself, Turbo will not enable itself on start up.
        You can check if Turbo is enabled on settings page.

          So, soon there will be no Flash for any browser, and how sites work will be up to each site to "redraw" their coding so as to work without Flash.

            @bbildman That's it. And I hope that those sites that use Flash start moving to a more modern solution (HTML5?) soon and don't leave it for the last hour.

              I'm also having trouble playing flash videos since i updated earlier today. Luckily adding exceptions manually has worked so far although it's annoying.

                Opera doesn't show me popup and allowing vk.com in settings doesn't work either.
                Opera, don't make me delete you.

                          Platform:
                          Windows 10
                          Opera 49 (Latest)

                          Flash don't work... had to uninstall and go back to 48

                          Had to disable internet, install Opera 48, disable autoupdate (under windows scheduler library and delete/rename opera_update exe)

                          Now am on Opera 48 till fix for 49 is resolved

                                @nvmjustagirl clicking the placeholder does nothing.
                                http://www.ultrasounds.com/US.html - this doesn't work too.
                                Allowing flash for www.ultrasounds.com has no effect.

                                      @leocg Opera 49.0 simply does not support Flash. Revert to an older version if possible or use a different browser. It's not a Flash issue but an Opera one, and Opera seems to be unable or unwilling to fix it.

                                        @leocg https://forums.opera.com/topic/23278/none-of-the-versions-of-opera-runs-a-site-with-flash-even-in-the-block-exception-list

                                        No buddy. It isn't true.

                                        In Chromium still working without exception list and in Google Chrome only if in the exception list and in Opera neither.

                                        All 3 versions in Windows or Linux.

                                        Now if the developers of Opera because the flash plugin is to be replaced over time consider as a feature Opera browsers no longer have any support right now even if the engine it uses does not have this restriction we have a point to be questioned.
                                        Or it's simply a design flaw that has been hard hit because most sites are migrating to HTML5 and few users are aware of it.
                                        What I'm saying that?
                                        Because neither the exception list work and this is no related to flash plugin anyway.
                                        And because in Chromium/Chrome the exception list work like a charm.

                                          @msxmaniac I've tested it in Chrome and that's why I could say that Chrome behaves the same.

                                            @johngoode Last time I've checked, Flash was working in Opera but you may need to manually add some sites as exceptions for Flash on them.
                                            So i guess I can say that Flash still works in Opera 49.

                                            In 51 I'm sure it works.
