How to remove Discover from Speed Dial?

Discover presents disgusting images? Are you serious? Then set Netnanny to block questionable images for your children OR keep them off the internet altogether. I have yet to see anything "disgusting" presented via Discover but I guess it all depends on what one deems disgusting. At this time there is no way to remove the Discover option.
Jerk, he's not talking about the "discover option," he's just talking about the freaking "panel" that
runs just below and parallel to the google search bar, and shows rolling headlines that constantly change,
and worse is there is no way, apparently, to click on that specific story. That's the problem i'm having.
I like the feature (although i totally get why others wouldn't), but when i click on whatever headline
pops up that i want to read, it doesn't take me to that article at all. In fact, more times than not, the
article CANNOT BE FOUND AT ALL, even if i go and select the correct category. If i want to find a story,
i have to go to google and search by putting the headline in there and see what comes up in google. Its
a cluster...plus, in that whole conversation, you obviously never understood what he was talking about,
probably cause you're miserable and enjoy being snarky, so here's to ya pal. -

I've never seen it here. Are you sure it's related to Discover?
????
Yes of course I'm sure. It's showing headlines from discover and takes you to discover when you click it... This is exactly identical to the feature Opera introduced on mobile. I'm guessing this has something to do with that.

Which one? Never seen something like that on the mobile version, at least in the Android one.
It used to have one, then you could hold it and swipe it to the trash folder.
I guess they decided to remove it because I don't get it anymore on clean installs.We don't have it but Max1c does, I guess it's a sort of A/B testing.

For someone who is a dedicated Opera follower you surely are not aware of Operas development. A while back Opera has introduced a "feature" on mobile which displayed discover content on the speed dial of the cell phone. It looked exactly the same as it looks on the screenshot I took from my desktop installation. Shortly after it was added, they removed it, due to the negative feedback. Usually, stable desktop installation does not have this. I have installed Opera stable numerous times on virtual machines and what not and this has appeared for the first time ever on my PC at work.

Just did a clean install of Opera 30 at work on a machine that never had Opera on it before. No discover thing on the speed dial.

I may be aware of it more than you think.

I know that and this is exactly what i've said is completly different of what your screenshot shows. At least on my version of Opera for Android.

As said, they may be doing A/B tests and it may explains why some people are not seeing the same as you.

Opera Mini seems to still have it.
