@nweinfeld the problem is:
I don't want it
I didn't install it
I didn't ask for it be installed
I didn't miss unchecking a box that would have prevented it from being installed
Instead, Opera installed it without my permission via an automatic update.
There is no option to uninstall it, not in extensions nor in add/remove programs
Now, I have to find the program on the internet, download and install it then uninstall it.
I should not have to do that. -

Opera will lose their clients if would be autoinstalling anything to users, especially sh*t like this

Love to see Opera being bundled with spyware. Good lord. Opera has been my browser of choice for years, but I guess I'll have to look elsewhere.

I guess taking $$$ from evil globalist companies is Opera's new jam. Impressive.

Automatische Installation dieser sinnfreien Erweiterung ist ein absolutes No-Go. Sebst der sinnvolle Werbe-Blocker lässt sich leichter entfernen als die Pseudo-Installation des Add-Ons.
Entfernt kann das ganze dennoch:
Erweiterung im App-Store suchen und Installieren
Nach der Installation kann die Erweitung endlich entfernt werden.0 Sterne real, denn ein Stern für ein derartiges Spam-Add-on noch zu viel.

The extension installed automatically which is an absolute trash. Please delete this extension and ban the authors.

This is 100% spam. Just like most of the positive comments in this thread. Incredible that Opera does not do anything about this.

Then create a file named kbmoiomgmchbpihhdpabemajcbjpcijk and change its attributes: read-only and system, after that the extension will not be able to install itself -

As an alternative, I've been having pretty good luck with Librewolf which has much better security and none of this invasive crap, but do have to come back to Opera from time to time to allow big tech in for a bit to a few websites to function. -

@dicinson: Amazing! It worked, thanks! This should be posted on a forum somewhere. I found the exact folder and it was almost a year old but never noticed these problems until after Opera updated a couple days ago and a whole-page pop-up relentlessly would flash on top of my page every few seconds then disappear! It's incredible to me that Opera would succumb to this behavior and take the risk of losing a huge part of their client base. I seriously have a bad taste in my mouth for Opera now and am considering pulling the trigger. Thanks again for the hack.

For some reason this extension is showing me prices in Japanese Yen when I live in Australia. I can't see any setting to change it. My Amazon AU account always shows prices in AUD
