I feel so sorry for myself that I am told to stop using Opera by people who has no abitily of imagine that I might have uninstalled that plug-in long ago. I have already uninstalled the Amazon Plugin at the time of that post.

Please try selecting a nearby location to reload the extension."

This crap installs automatically while browsing the Amazon site.

I've been with opera nearly from the beginning. This installed itself on my browser while surfing at amazon, either through clickjacking or opera blatantly allowed it. Either way it's a crime!

Permissions
Read your browsing history
Display notifications
Manage your extensions <--and it can add more crap at will.
Avoid At All Costs, and get a better browser, preferably an actual opensource one endorsed by the FSF. Icecat and Librewolf are high on my list at the moment.

Opera is ruined.

I used to love Opera, but nowadays it just forces more and more useless features on you without respecting your privacy.

This bs extension installed itself on my browser today. An icon pops up from no where, with no consent from me. And worst of all, it doesn't show up in my extension list so cannot be uninstalled, and I'm not even sure if it is fully installed as it never pops up anything. Just an icon, hanging there and cannot be removed.

Useless extension! Don't waste your valuable time in downloading this!

@saswata450 There is no need to download it, it installs itself without asking for permission.

Same as the other people - I have two user profiles on Opera, one of them for work. Useless Amazon toolbar installed itself onto my work profile somehow (pretty certain I never asked it to), can't remove it, can't find any trace of it in my C:\ drive, doesn't show up in Extensions list, doesn't show up in Add or Remove Programs. Awesome job Opera. I really do thank you for your hard work and efforts.

@arklos Same thing happened to me. The Amazon button appeared on my toolbar but it wasn't in my list of extensions. I never installed it personally. I unpinned it but don't like the idea of items being added without my consent.

@youkita it's sorta dumb. I actually had difficulty getting it completely off (the toolbar), and had to resort to installing it and then uninstalling it. Then it finally went away.

Hate it, don't want it, didn't install it. I might just stop using Opera if I can't get rid of it.

The way to get rid of the pre-installed version which has no remove option is to install this proper extension, then remove it. Should get rid of both. I love Opera and I love amazon, but I dont want them connected.
