      I've tolerated some Speed Dial adverts, but that huge icon on the sidebar is too much. I'm really thinking about switching to Edge or Vivaldi... Do you know some good and safe speed dial extension? I don't need much more to be honest, all extensions I use are in Chrome Web Store...

            @herrpietrus Opera Speed Dial is what keeps me tied to Opera. The day someone comes up with a reasonable knock-off....

              It is working fine with me. I haven't encountered any Aliexpress ads so far.
              If you are facing some ads, then it may be a promotion.
              You can close it manually, I think.

                @naheed Aliexpress app (via clicking icon with both LMB and RMB) cannot be removed or opened now. The first icon (from this thread) was changed to the next version:
                Unknown icon in sidebar/left side

                  @pavelopdev Then it should be removed. I hope developers will remove such type of Ads.
                  I have seen various threads related to the same issue.
                  Hope so, it will be solved soon.

                    @naheed The big problem is not the unwanted ads. It's the method or the technical means applied which enables them to push to you ((subliminal or undetectable) and nefarious) activities.

                      So, did you figure out how to turn it off yet? At the top - next to the "x" to close the panel - you can see three dots aligned vertically. Click on that, choose "Don't show this again", done. Not an obvious place, but it is there.

                        Follow up - Developer is a little strange in that regard. When it showed up there (a few minutes ago) I went ahead and did the same thing, but it was still visible until I restarted Opera. When I disabled it in Stable, the panel and icon vanished immediately.
