"Recommended"

This is a user forum. ( @lando242 is being sarcastic.)

I'd still say it has to be an extension - I see at least 3 in your screenshot.

this is a behind a flag, disable it by going to:
opera://flags/#site-tiles

...but this is disabled by default

@lando242: Oh yes, it is very egoistic reporting bugs/ difficulties. Not that Opera could use those information to improve their products. That's very egoistic, isn't it?

@vux777, @sgunhouse:
Neither opera://flags/#site-tiles (it is disabled, still by default) nor disabling plugins solved the problem.
But I think I found a solution:

The entries in the 'Recommended' bar (@herrevo's screenshot), really seem to come from Speed Dial. But at least for me they didn't appear on the Speed Dial page (blank new tab). Maybe it was some kind of a bug? How ever I found a work around:

I linked Opera on Android with the one running on my pc using synchronization.
I opened a new blank tab in Opera on Android, that made Speed Dial (for me it's called 'Schnellwahl') appear.
There's a little monitor icon (left arrow, right arrow, monitor icon, tabs, Opera icon) on the pages bottom. Clicking this little icon shows up all devices connected to the Opera account. For me: my phone and my pc
From there I was able to see and to remove all the preinstalled crap (such as facebook, ebay, free vpn, etc).

It seems that since then the 'Recommended' bar doesn't appear anymore.

Besides the usage of several different terms for one and the same thing is very misleading.

Schnellwahl

Speed Dial

The bar itself is called Recommended. (screenshot made by @herrevo)
Either less translation or one consistent translation would have made it easier to identify and solve the problem.

Thanks to everyone that tried helping.

Hi there!

I updated my Opera Developer yesterday to ver.34.0.2011.0 and now there is this ugly "Recommended" thing every time I just click in the adress bar.

How can we get rid of this, please???

Thanks in advance!
