You've probably picked up adware in your Opera installation similar to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/antivirus/comments/98qaml/how_do_i_remove_ads_by_royal/

Try checking for something peculiar in your extensions and remove any oddities if found, even to the extent of removing each extension, if that's what it takes. From other reports I've seen, "Royal Raid" can be nasty to remove for some victims (particularly on Android-related systems), depending on how it's caused an infection, so you may end up having to reset the browser or reinstall it.

1st image shows ads with general word archery and ads by Royals in grey top right. If I touch the screen anywhere I get redirected to ads sites totally unrelated! NONE of these ads are anything to do with archery !!! If I very carefully click the x next to royals the page reloads without the ads and looks like picture 2 as it should .1_1536147075533_2018-09-05 12_26_59-archery stabilisers reviewed - Google Search - Opera.jpg 0_1536147075533_2018-09-05 12_27_48-Microsoft Edge.jpg
