      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. ๐Ÿ™‚

                        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.
