Turbo is disabled on mine, glitches continue (could it be due to having lots of tabs and the system checking them frequently for the new preview function??), but the latest annoyance is that I get a message to install flash when I try to look at the statistics of a weebly website I have. Of course flash is installed, but I installed it again, still the message (and javascript is enabled, so it's not that). I open Internet Explorer and I can see my statistics immediately. I am beginning to feel that abandoning Opera would be the sensible thing to do - but what a shame when I like its look and features...

I'm now hearing the odd 'glitch' (momentary micro-gap followed by a restart that almost gives a 'plop' effect) listening in Internet Explorer too. If it is Opera's adoption of Pepper Flash and its interference with 'proper' Adobe flash, does this mean I have to remove Opera from the computer to stop it??
(there's plenty of bandwidth to stream videos etc so it's not that).
Maybe related to this is the fact that the normally ultra reliable VLC media player now cannot play FLAC etc recordings without inserting lots of gaps. If I use foobar they play faultlessly.
6 months and more ago I had none of these problems...

I have used Opera for years but recently have been having a lot of problems with infuriating 'glitches' when listening to bbc radio 3 online with the iplayer (live or listen again). From what I have seen elsewhere it seems this could be due to Pepper flash. I tried deleting it from the Opera folder but the problem has returned a day later. An hour ago I opened radio 3 in Internet Explorer and have been able to listen to perfect sound. As I use the computer to listen to radio 3 a lot it seems I am either going to have to have two browsers open at once or abandon Opera. Does anyone know the exact cause of this problem and if there is a reliable and permanent fix? (I have 24.0.1558.64 and a 64 bit Windows 7 computer.)
