      @mrtomski It's not a feature, it's a malfunction. The developers most likely initially intended, but later forgot to make the icon removable; hence it is a bug. That's why I'm perfectly confident that the glitch will be fixed soon; no worries over here.

      Until then, I've sent a bug report to the app on the Google Play Store about the icon accidentally being left unremovable.

        @april66 I have spoken to a developer of the app through the Google Play Store. They plan to fix the issue now, so no worries.

              Re: Football Icon

              It's not just the icon, it's the bloody irritating tickertape banner of footy results that parades across the home screen above the news section to still have activated

              This means the totally unnecessary footy stuff is pushing the information I AM interested in, out of view off the bottom of page.

              I should not have to readjust a customized home page every single time I open Opera.

              Was it April 1st when some football-obsessed opera programmer decided to add this without any options?

                Apologies. Found the buried setting to turn off.

                    @mrtomski I understand your frustration with the sports feature on your phone. It can be quite annoying when an update or feature caters to an interest that doesn't resonate with you, especially when it affects the performance of your device. It's unfortunate that your phone's limited resources are being consumed by something you don't care for, and it seems like there should be an option to disable or customize such features to better suit individual preferences. Hopefully, the developers will take feedback like yours into account and provide more flexibility in future updates.
                    Best Regards!

                      @mrtomski I can see why the sports feature on your phone is causing you frustration. When a feature or update targets an interest that you don't share, it can be very irksome, especially if it degrades the functionality of your gadget. It's bad that something you don't like is using up your phone's limited resources, and it seems like there ought to be a way to disable or alter these functions to better fit personal tastes. With any luck, the developers will consider comments such as yours and allow more freedom in upcoming releases.
                      Thanks a lots!!

                        I was annoyed to when sawing the Football stuff, not interested in that so and i dont like stuff that i dont want like most of you.
                        but just 5 minutes searching in the settings and you can disable most of the stuff, only thing that stays is the Football Button when you press the Opera Symbol at the right bottom of the start site.

                        to getrid of the navigation shorcut and the Tickertape banner press opera sign.
                        then the settings symbol on the bottom,.
                        the settings for the shortcut are under "Navigation Shortcut" .
                        the settings for the tickertape banner are under "Personalization" disable sport scores there
