      I'm just trying out Opera. There is a waving icon on the new browsing tab, upper left, that looks like this:
      4df96246-222f-4d26-8d16-f03386187c28-image.png
      Hovering over it opens a request location dialog, but I cannot set the location and it doesn't respond to clicking.
      What is this and, better yet, how do I get rid of it? I find moving things on my screen to be very distracting.
      Thanks,
      Max

          @MaxYaffe It's the weather widget, it seems to be having issues currently.

            Looks like Opera One.

              You can goto the URL opera://settings/startPage and hide it if you want.

                Thanks, that removed the problem. I'm sure I'll have other issues due to location services but those seem wonky on different computers using different browsers.
