Why are you shoving adds down my throat on the speed dial page?

RE: Can't install Opera 51 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTSOpera for Linux
@ygbourhis
I downloaded the deb file for 52.0.2871.40 from Opera's download site and applied your package patch Fri 3/30/18. I've been using it regularly since then and everything seems to be working right except for the No-Script Suite Lite extension.Opera crashes every time I click on the script's gear icon unless I'm in Opera's settings tab. Opera 52.0.2871.40 installed on Ubuntu 16.04 does not have that problem.
I'm digging a little deeper to see if I can get some idea of what's going on, but in my view it may be a little early to claim absolutely everything works. I'll post what - if anything - I find out here.

RE: What is Black Friday?Blogs
FWIW, I find that if I drop back to 63.0.3368.94, the ads no longer appear on the speed dial page. Also, clicking on the "heart" sidebar icon once again pops up the full bookmark page.
This in not ultimately an acceptable solution for me, but its a real PITA to switch browsers. Having to click on an 'X' every time I start the browser is not good enough. -
RE: What is Black Friday?Blogs
@CarlyRaeJepsenStan The point is there shouldn't be any "promotion". Even after I pressed the "x" and specified "ignore" the stupid thing still reappeared later.

RE: Can't install Opera 51 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTSOpera for Linux
@ygbourhis No. So I deinstalled it, then downloaded from its website and activated it. Same results. Opera crashes if I click the gear icon in anything other than the Settings tab. Here's syslog:
[1] bryan: grep opera /var/log/syslog
Apr 10 12:50:30 Pentium90 kernel: [613766.044865] opera[16412]: segfault at a8 ip 0000000004f4fe65 sp 00007ffc00147540 error 4 in opera[1a1e000+5afe000]Looks like there's a good probability that I have cruft in my environment (it's used for development after all). Be nice if someone could test in exactly Ubuntu 14.04.

RE: Can't install Opera 51 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTSOpera for Linux
@ygbourhis For me, Noscript Lite shows up under "about:extensions". Clicking Enable will make it show up as a little shield at the very right end of the address bar. Clicking on the little shield causes a small window to appear with a box labeled '+' and a box containing a gear symbol. I've found that clicking on the gear symbol results in a crash when I'm on a web page. The only place I've found that there is no crash is when I'm on the settings tab.
The crash does not happen when I'm running the same version of Opera on Ubuntu 16.04.

Simplify SychronizationSuggestions and feature requests
I think it would greatly simplify synchronization between opera instances on different machines if the "Advanced synchronization settings" box were supplied with a "Speed Dial" tick box. Any chance of this happening?
Thanks,

RE: Other Speed DialsOpera for Linux
@leocg Ah, right I stumbled upon this: Speed Dials batch restore.
(Never mind.)
