I'm having a very similar problem, but it only occurs on certain sites. For example, I try to play a video on the CNN site, and all that happens is a square box rolls around, no video. If I play my local TV station's weather report, it works fine. I don't have the problem when using Chrome.

I noticed this evening the Home button is suddenly missing from my toolbar. Where did it go? It may seem a small thing, but it isn't to me. I use it all the time!! It's all configured exactly the way I want with the sites I use most frequently. I know I can get to it if I close the driver, but that is a PIA, especially when I have several tabs open and/or pinned. If I wanted the home page, just click the home button. I can't find anything anywhere that lets me select it as an option. Was a new version downloaded without my knowledge? Why was this done without my knowledge or permission, if that is in fact the case. It annoys me that something I used all the time was unilaterally taken away!! This is the heavy handed type of nonsense I expect from IE (or whatever MS calls it these days) or Google, not Opera, which is otherwise the best browser I've ever used!
I have a simple question, but trying to find an answer to something so seemingly basic has proved to be extremely difficult (and thus very frustrating and annoying).
How do I permanently stop Opera from blocking "Insecure sites"? A site I am very familiar and comfortable with from my Chrome days is blocked whenever I try to access it. I understand how to unblock it on a one time basis, but not how to permanently disable Opera's blocking of this or other sites I deem safe? It's very irritating to have Opera make unilateral decisions for me regarding the content I chose to use on my computer, and not give me a way to take that control back. I may not be able to figure out how to go about the process, but I'm not so stupid that I can't make my own decisions about something like this.
This is such an aggravating issue -- made even more aggravating by the inability to find any guidance from the Help function -- that it's close to a deal breaker. Could someone PLEASE explain what the deal is? (that's not intended to be a shout, merely a work around to the apparently insoluble issue of how to perform basic formatting for those of us who are not IT pros. I'm sorry for my ignorance, but it is what it is.)
