      Opera will add new speed dials from partners from time to time - I just got speed dials from Target and Groupon (an online coupon site). If you don't want them, delete them (and don't forget to go to Bookmarks and empty them from the Trash) and forget about them.

        @nobiznis,

        you may want to note that, probably from (stable) Opera version 56, it should be possible to prevent these unwanted additions.

        Please stop ads via speed dial entries

              @deestonic I quite agree. Opera has gone down the sewer drain with all the problems I've been having with it 1)Sync working only when it feels like, 2) Connecting pages slowly or not at all due to Windows 10 Creators Update and now 3) Sync screwing flash up to a point where I need an addon to have flash working even though it is installed and should work.

                I notice every time that Opera for Mac updates, I get the default speed dial links (as if installing for the first time) inserted into my existing (and detailed) speed dial.

                Could we please stop that? 🙂

                  I just experienced having quite a few unsolicited speed dials added to my browser from retailers like Target, Booking.com, and Groupons as well as an eBay speed dial just suddenly appear. How could this happen and is there a way to stop this from happening in the future? Thanks for any help with this.

                        Every other time I upgrade Opera, the upgrade adds bookmarks to the SpeedDial page without asking.

                        I personally find this behaviour very intrusive.

                        Please refrain from doing that.

                        This applies to Opera on all platforms, BTW.
