      @leocg Same here - everything disabled/off that I can think of that may be doing this.

        Is everyone with this problem getting Disney? Or other things.

        I wonder if Opera has whored out to Disney specifically.

          @michaeljohn "It's too much of a distraction because of my trouble focussing."

          I hear you. Its not a corner pop up you can cancel out of. Its in the middle of my homepage and I have to scroll around it.
          It is very distracting, to the point that I consider it malware.

            I did what I shouldn't do, because its Disney and at last not a dodgy website where I might get (more) malware. The prices to the products, Mandalorean and two others all in their own centre screen placements are in pounds. Maybe only users in the UK are getting this malware?

            Opera, are you listening? I need an opt out of ALL adware button on settings, without a 'helpful' override feature on updates. You shouldn't be doing this, it['s not cornered and its not deleteable, its very intrusive advertising.
            Either you have been hacked which is unlikely due to the source or you whored out.

                  Sorry forgot to reply to this. Yes, I disabled those also in Advanced Settings. It did not get rid of the Disney adverts.

                        Yof have to delete the "Advert" (presuming you mean the same Disney+ promoted speed dial I see on my tablet) then go to Bookmarks and empty Trash - there is a long-standing issue that deleted speed dials come back if you don't empty the trash.

                          This sh* pushed me closer to uninstalling every opera browser than I've ever been.

                            When I booted up this morning I had three Disney ads on my start page, above my Speed Dial icons. I hoped that right clicking would give the option to disable, but it doesn't. I've been through advanced settings Start Page. Show News is disabled. Receive Promoted is disabled. Suggestions is disabled. Running Windows 10 and latest Opera. How can I get rid of these ads?

                              I've version 67.0.3575.79, and just started getting ads appearing on the speeddial page, despite having disabled them in the past
                              Check settings and as far as I can see they are still disabled, so why are they appearing

                                @Bickerstaffe Thankyou, its now disabled for me. As for the 'solution' the X is very thin and happened to be positioned on a part of my wallpaper the same colour. I had to hunt for it.

                                @dugglebb However this remains true. I should not be getting any ads with my settings, which are similar to yours.

                                  To everyone else: There is a thin X (close button) at the top right of the three ads. Click that, then choose "don't show again" - voila, it's gone.

                                    Annoying Speed Dial Buttons linking to Disney+
                                    I have switched off all advertisement, news, etc. Yet, about a week ago I find in my opera speed dial page following buttons:
                                    cfd1deef-2d57-4d03-a777-29275639acc2-image.png
                                    It is not possible to remove the buttons.
                                    Any idea where they come from and how to get rid of it.
                                    Keep well and thank you in advance
                                    Glad

                                      I have the same issue for a week or so.
                                      Annoying Speed Dial Buttons linking to Disney+ and I cannot remove them.de61a44d-f232-4a97-a28d-bca4a526f0ef-image.png . They look like this. No chance to get rid of them.
                                      I use to surf in private mode and VPN on; still they find out I am from Germany. So, Opera must have submitted data of mine to somebody.
                                      Hope there will be a cure for this nasty advertisement.
                                      Keep healthy in these unsteady times

                                        Thank you so much.
                                        I did zooming to 200% and then found it.
                                        Great it is gone.

                                          My wallpaper is an image from orbit. Finding a black X in a starfield is not easy.

                                            Can you please stop to spam Opera with multiple ADS. I use adblock for a reason and I don't mind the occasional (if really rare) bookmarks ads. But I really what you are doing with disney+ and opera gaming. Those really sucks.
                                            And in the last 3 days I got multiple bookemarks ads and 2 ads like disney+.

                                            If I have to I'm going to switch back to firefox... I don't really want to do it but I will if you continue to bother me like that.
