I must admit that I do not fully understand how that Auto-update is functioning:
Does it compare my Speed dial entries with an online list maybe several times a day, even if the core application itself is up to date (my version is 54.0.2952.41, update stream: Stable), and on this basis default speed dial entries may be re-added?

@leocg Is that all Opera staff have to say in this topic? I guess they just wait until all of us will calm down and get over it just before new ad will appear again.

@yanta Auto-update is not used only to update Opera itself. It can be used to update extensions, ad-block lists and so on.
Aw, c'mon, man! Auto-update MUST NOT update my "extensions, ad-block lists and so on" since i'm not using Opera's ad-blocker.
Every extension i use has its own auto-update.
Also, we saw too many times how Opera disables or completely removes some or all of extensions or bookmarks. -

I got booking.com added to my Speed Dial page today, also. I don't sweat it, though--I just delete it. This is one way that Opera is able to produce revenue and finance the production/maintenance of a terrific browser. Happy Independence Day to all my American patriots today! We are free--free to delete unwanted speed dial buttons and bookmarks--free to do even more important things, too!
I agree 100%. Its no big deal to delete it.

How come Opera on the homepage says it's "free", same thing on Wikipedia it says it uses Freeware licence while clearly this all means it is adware!

@yanta Since it's supposed to have fixes for the issue, delete it and empty the bookmarks trash once again and see if it stays deleted. If it doesn't let em know.

I will proceed as you suggested. Thank you for your comment, burnout426.

Every extension i use has its own auto-update. ...So how does that matter? Auto-update in software makes updates to files that, in turn, are used as references by function modules within the browser, whether you are "using" those browser functions or not. It's the same in Windows and AV programs and virtually all auto-updating software on your system: files are updated to keep the program current, whether or not a user has selected to use certain features. So, for example, an ad-block "block list" will get updated for the browser whether the user enables its usage or not.
