I see in the web inspector:

TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'e.Plugin.Host')

Most likely a flickr bug.

I'm fine with the resolution.

But I also need to add that it works fine in Firefox and Chromium.

So we don't have time to debug individual websites, sorry. Unless a flickr developer investigates why that variable is undefined, we're just not going to get anywhere.

But actually, it's working just fine here with 2.14.1. Guess it got fixed somewhere along the line?

Sure, definitely. I did not mean the opposite. Just wanted to add information that I noticed I forgot. At least by me your work is heavily respected and appreciated, Michael.

Really? I remembered this bug just because I used Flickr again at that moment. Must be a non-default setting here, then. Maybe the 'easyprivacy' list that I added... I will add an update if I find something.

Yes. Confirmed this while looking for hints to the bug 1391777

I could not figure out why this list does not break Flickr in Firefox/Chromium + uBlock, though :/

3.22.6 fixed this, I should add.

Tested with 3.22.5 right before upgrading.

I suspect it was a side effect of this:
