@yanta Auto-update is not used only to update Opera itself. It can be used to update extensions, ad-block lists and so on.

Aw, c'mon, man! Auto-update MUST NOT update my "extensions, ad-block lists and so on" since i'm not using Opera's ad-blocker.
Every extension i use has its own auto-update.
Also, we saw too many times how Opera disables or completely removes some or all of extensions or bookmarks.

@yanta I don't any comparation is done, I guess it just updates some files that then add the speed dial entry.

@buszmen As I don't work for Opera, I can't answer that.

I got booking.com added to my Speed Dial page today, also. I don't sweat it, though--I just delete it. This is one way that Opera is able to produce revenue and finance the production/maintenance of a terrific browser. Happy Independence Day to all my American patriots today! We are free--free to delete unwanted speed dial buttons and bookmarks--free to do even more important things, too!

I agree 100%. Its no big deal to delete it.

How come Opera on the homepage says it's "free", same thing on Wikipedia it says it uses Freeware licence while clearly this all means it is adware!

Technically, adware is something different - or else by your definition Firefox is also adware.

booking.com was re-added to my speed dials.

It must be love...

Giving up...

@yanta Since it's supposed to have fixes for the issue, delete it and empty the bookmarks trash once again and see if it stays deleted. If it doesn't let em know.

So how does that matter? Auto-update in software makes updates to files that, in turn, are used as references by function modules within the browser, whether you are "using" those browser functions or not. It's the same in Windows and AV programs and virtually all auto-updating software on your system: files are updated to keep the program current, whether or not a user has selected to use certain features. So, for example, an ad-block "block list" will get updated for the browser whether the user enables its usage or not.
