Ubuntu 18.04 / Opera 72.0.3815.320

Same problem. At first I thought it was caused by some extension so I turned them all off but it didn't help.
It resides on sidebar and trying to click close button several times simply closes and restarts the browser. When sidebar is off it just appears on same spot every time I open Speed Dial page and I can simply close it without any errors.

I have a theory it has something to do with Aliexpress promo I got couple of days ago, that's when the problem first started. It's 11/11 and this small nuisance of a window refuse to disappear - not a coincidence.

I've gotten to receive a new louse in my Sidebar. Similar to the first one described in this post:
https://forums.opera.com/topic/44911/aliexpress-promotion-in-sidebar-and-start-page/12

It appears from time to time then vanishes. It does open nothing and does have no attached switches. When pressed it crashes two window Opera fully.

It appears in the same position of Sidebar as Aliexpress Louse.

I'm pissed off really. The issue suggests Opera has a backdoor in code. It does not imply that Opera Team is testing or is malicious intentionally. It might be interaction between new versions of Opera Dev and IceWM (X Window system) I use in Debian.

I'm not of fond of any lice in Sidebar. Some are saying they are going to jump on other browser's platform, but I will try to be patient and be nice guy which will wait for real explanation from Opera developers. I can't understand why they are hushed up on this issue. But my patience has its limit. One source claimed Opera has 0.6% market share. BTW What is the max upper threshold of statistical noise? At 0.3%?

Aaand I was right, it's aliexpress.

I turned off every single ad-related thing I can in this browser and still got this. You know what? Back to FF I go.
