Getting Rid of "click to activate and use this control" Message
I know there is a patent issue on this one. But it has been a couple of years. And I really think that "click to activate and use this control" message shouldn't be the permanent solution while other browsers (like firefox, chorme) don't have this kind of problem. I am saying it because clicking every control object to use them is really annoying, time consuming and obviously meaningless.Maybe it is not possible to overcome the patent issue near future. But could you at least improve this mechanism? Perhaps, there could be a button, a short-cut key that enables all controls in the page for that tab or that session. I don't know but any kind of solution would be much better than this "click to activate and use this control" mechanism.
By the way I know there are unofficial solutions to this problem but i really want to see some official effort.
Thank you Opera team and keep up your good work.

Is there a way to do this globally or does it have to be done for every single website?

I just keep getting more depressed every time I update opera. Very old bugs not fixed, easy fix not made(talking about no option to disable image resize here), new "features" even more annoying than the last ones implemented and often poor compatibility with a lot of website.

The reason it works at all is that some sites detect the browser and send different code to different browsers.Is there a way to do this globally or does it have to be done for every single website?

Thanks, at least I don't have to click twice now on youtube videos so that's nice since it is 95% of the double-clicking I have to do.
And about browser detection, there is(or was) a way to still be able to detect it's opera even though it's masked as something else. A friend of mine who makes websites wanted to include compatibility for opera on his website because of me and he discovered that masking as something else could mess things up and found a way to really detect the browser(don't know how though), but I guess most people won't bother.
They should just make website that follow the standards, it would be so much simpler for the users.

Open a youtube page, right click somewhere on it(not on a control though), click on edit site preferences, click on the network tab and set the browser identification to Mask as Internet Explorer.
Then after you reload the page you won't need to click on the control to activate it.

Use a script xa-nocta (you can find it easy in google) or go to opera:config, find Spoof UserAgent ID and set to 3.
I'm lost, cant you just unselect the Tools > Preference > Content > Enable plugins only on demand feature or have I missed something.
I personally love the Plugins on demand feature.

If feature X is to be added in the next version of Opera, make sure there is an option to disable feature X.
matee: Thanks for the suggestion, if I have other site where it start bothering me maybe I'll try it, but I'd like to still propagate opera's name when I visit website so I'll stay like I am right now.
Username342342345: Apparently not, that option wasn't enabled and I still had to click on controls to activate them.

(about youtube, some videos are encoded in webm : check the option at http://www.youtube.com/html5 and enjoy native video integration !)

I've been using the great xaNoCTA – No Click-to-Activate (patch) for a long time now and I haven't thought of the html5 workaround, thanks!
