Removes lame protection on YouTube. Old flash? Go Upgrade! fixer. Script author is Snap

Snap100's original description:

This is a lame solution to "block" the videos to those who uses flashblockers, or adblockers, or etc ... google wants you to watch every one of their ads, i guess money is never enough ...

As a programmer was extremely easy to write a workaround for this, but take in count that i ONLY use Opera, so this will only work for Opera users ...
