Opera advertising extensions in browser bar popup

I've noticed since Opera 54 or so, that on visiting some sites (e.g. Amazon, AliExpress), a bar pops down from Opera's title-bar, "suggesting" that the user install the site's extension. This behaviour is annoying and unacceptable, given Opera's anti-ads stance ("With build-in Ad Blocker!!!!!!!") and given that, currently, it seems to happen ad-hoc, and there is no way to block or disable these ads.
Please could you advise or rectify this issue? Many thanks! -

@darthagnon this is really annoying. Please add an Option to disable these ads.

When the Amazon website is visited, the installation of an Amazon extension is offered in the upper right corner. I think @darthagnon and @julimeus mean that:

That's my opinion, too. I also can hardly imagine that Opera's Ad Blocker will be extended by the function of blocking such hints, because that would go far beyond blocking ads in the original sense.
I posted the screenshot just to perhaps help clarify the concern of @darthagnon and @julimeus, and to answer your question.

The Amazon thing is caused by Opera's built-in Amazon promotion component extension. It's intended behavior.

Oops, I didn't know that (and I didn't expect that either). Thanks for the correction.
