How To View Add-Ons

Opera 50. 0.2762.67

I just installed the latest version of Flash for the latest version of Opera without any issues.

However, when I type about:plugins for a confirmation that it is listed and enabled, it goes to the Settings->Webpage section.

I checked the Extensions tab but it is not listed there either.

Am I missing something?

@sporty78 opera://plugins no longer exists since a while.

Leocg:

That does not address 'how' to confirm that Flash is listed and enabled.

@sporty78 Because there is no way other than checking on sites that use Flash.

@leocg:

Other browsers have an 'Add-Ons' option on the 'Tools' drop-box that displays a list and whether they are enabled/disabled but Opera has no way of confirming which add-ons have been installed?

@sporty78 Flash is a plug-in and, basically, it's the only one supported by Chromium based browsers so maybe there isn't much sense in having a page just to list one single plug-in.

Firefox lists it so I figured Opera did as well.

Good to know that I was not missing anything since about:plugins no longer exists.

Take care.

So far, there are only two supported add-ons anyway: the included PDF viewer and Flash - and Google plans to drop support for Flash eventually, which means all Chromium-based browsers (like Opera) will too. (Not soon, but it will happen.)
