@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.)

@nvmjustagirl Awesome. Does the setting get reverted back to "ask" after you restart Opera 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.
