I've been messing with the extension API to make an extension to do what adding https://, http:// and file:///* does.
Test version of an Always Activate Flash extension
Goto
opera://settings/contentExceptions#pluginsand clear the Flash exceptions list if you want since it shouldn't be needed.Download "always activate flash.zip", extract it, goto
opera://extensions, click "Developer Mode", choose "load unpacked extension", pick the "always activate flash" folder and try some pages.You can view the main.js and main.css files to see what's in them. Tweak main.css if needed and choose "reload" on the extensions page to test your modifications.

@burnout426 Yes!! It works!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 
I've got flash back!! 
You should publish this in the extension store so those of us who can't get flash to work with the exceptions can get flash back. -

Indeed. I want to see if I can find a better way to override Chromium's blocking of tiny Flash objects first though.

main.css in the extension is trying to work around these rules (the same-domain one at least) that Chromium has.

I updated my test extension to make the CSS better. From now on, I'll keep all info about it at https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/always_activate_flash

Opera added an option back to always load Flash. (See comments in post though.)

Could be.
I think it's code in Chromium that removes the setting as the setting isn't supposed to be used/supported anymore and the devs just have to force it somehow or remove the code that removes the setting.

Automatic update number 49 has caused a flash issue. I did not find a solution, so I uninstalled version 49 and installed 48 (48.0.2685.52). Everything went back to normal, I did not even have to reinstall Flash. I only disabled the automatic update of Opera: I deleted the opera_autoupdate.exe file from the Opera main directory and added the "OPERA_AUTOUPDATE_DISABLED" system variable, with a value of "1".
I'm waiting for the correct patch of Opera. -
