Feature request: Integrated Flash Player

Really, it's pretty annoying when I'm on a computer where you don't have admin rights (at work, at school, etc. ) . If I want to play a flash game, I have to crack/delete the admin password or download Chrome...
I hope this feature wasn't requested before, I 'm sorry but I haven't found it.

Integrated Flash?

It was the case before Opera 9.0 (changelog, bullet fifth from below: "Flash is no longer bundled in the Windows installer."), since before that Opera Software had to release new version of Opera browser for every new flash plugin version (for example, look at this changelog for 8.54, "Security" section).

And with "Open the Web" initiative and modern trends to move away from plugins, it's highly unlikely we'll see Opera browser with an integrated flash plugin ever again.

So ask Adobe to make a workaround to bypass UAC for Flash Player. Adobe updates it's Flash Player more than 50 times in a year. Opera Software doesn't have time to make 50 security updates a year, ask the QA department to test it while still maintaining the quality we expect from Opera products. Google has 25,000+ employees and that's 5 times more than sufficient.

because flash is a security nightmare and opera has not the workforce google has to just binary-patch the shit out of it on their own.
