      What's with Facebook, Ali Express, Booking Amazon and so on? If I need a site, I will add it, I don't need this cheap advertising in my browser.

      Stop being greedy. Look at how being greedy ends in the latest EA vs Gamers debacle, it ends in 3 Billion stock loss.

      This happened twice already the last week. And it happened in the past as well.

      Stop it. There are MANY free browsers to choose from, remember that, Opera.

        I agree! These same sites are being placed on my Speed Dial page too! I keep deleting them but they return. I want to control what websites I want to add, so stop adding random sites to my Speed Dial page, Opera!

            No big deal ... Opera can make money to pay their employees to continue making a very nice browser. We can delete the occasional added bookmark whenever we want! Carry on! 🙂

              Wanting to report that in the last days I'm getting those Speed Dial ads every hour or so, which is getting very, very annoying!

                Make sure you empty Trash (from Bookmarks).

                  I must be doing something wrong. I'm not seeing this behavior. Once I delete a speed dial entry, it's gone and doesn't reappear.

                    Tried that all, loging in and out of sync, nothing. Now I will try keeping as many as possible in the trashcan. Maybe there is a limit where it stops.

                      So my trashcan contains 4 packs of the usual 6 ads and since yesterday I'm not seeing any more being added to my SD... This is beyond strange but I guess it worked?!

                        @xirit32 Have to report that after doing that, bizarre enough the ads have not re-appeared since then. The 24 ads still remain in the trash bin.
