      Every year the same thing. Black Friday is coming meaning new ads.
      alt text
      and after clicking it:
      alt text

      Does this
      alt text
      mean anything to you at all?

      If this thread gonna be closed or not gonna explain this behaviour I'm dumping Opera after 19 years. ☹

          @buszmen You and me both!
          Where is the point of having 'block ads' when you can't delete these black friday ads?
          And they are not in my language!

            What does this icon do? And why can't I disable it from the settings?
            By clicking on it it just says "You need to enable Javascript to run this app", but I don't want to enable javascript globally, I keep it disabled by default and only allow it on certain websites.

              When this spam showed up exactly 2 weeks ago, I specifically click "Don't show this again" on both laptops and today this sh*t shows up again! It's like spitting in our faces. Opera advertise themselves as a browser with adblocker and vpn but doesn't have any of that.

                      My 81 yr old Mum uses Opera as her browser, I don't. Hence I have little knowledge of the issue she is seeing on her laptop screen.

                      As per the attached image, she is really worried that this "icon" has appeared in her left hand side bar when she is using the Opera browser.

                      Does anyone know what this is please? Thanks in advance.![alt text](Mama Opera red black item - is it safe 24Nov2020.JPG image url)

                          Speed Dial is now including items from Amazon, Ebay and Booking that I did not add nor can I remove. How do I block or remove undesired items from being added to the Speed Dial without my doing so? Thank you...

                              Screenshot? First guess would be to click the x above it, but possibly it is else I haven't seen yet.

                                          @jwsarge2 OK, I found the X and it got rid of the 3 items that had shown up. Wasn't looking close enough I guess. Thanks again for the feedback.

                                            I am fed up with this black Friday rubbish ( since it started ) and now I have to see it every day on my sidebar - Who put it there - how do I remove it?
                                            How dare you! Opera.
