@teyas26461 You and everyone else; you're not alone. So going forward, and in case if anyone has missed reading the previous messages, Opera has changed the default behavior of flash to "block." End of story. This thread should probably be locked now.

Ok, I accept the idea of the gradual lessening of support for flash. But I ask you this: On the 1st day of no support (Jan 1, 2021) what happens to the functionality of flash? It works today just fine. Why shouldn't it still work Jan 1st? The only "bad" thing that I can think of is Adobe removes it from their download site. Ok fine, I'll use the flash that I have in perpetuity until I no longer need it. (my last thought: opportunity for a 3rd party api?)

So, to get ready for the demise of flash, let's make things really inconvenient for the users in the meantime. Hmm. There are times when I'd like to reach out to the developers and cause them to suffer in some way. This is one of those times.
