@leocg: There are currently ads being forced down our throats on the speed dial page that cannot be disabled in settings relating to black friday deals that don't even apply to the location I'm in... A very strange move considering the amount of emphasis Opera puts on ad blocking... (yes, all (both ad blocking and promoted content on the speed dial page) ad related settings are such that they shouldn't show up and yet they do...)

https://blogs.opera.com/black-friday/2019/11/what-is-black-friday-en/They are at the top of the page and are forcing all other content to be pushed down. The only way to get rid of them is by literally deleting them from the page with developer tools... If this keeps up, I'll be forced to write an extension to forcibly delete all your content from that page in the <singles-day> tag or what's probably what's more effective everything that isn't in the <speeddial-component> tag, if that's even possible, I've never tried to write an auto-removal extension for a system page... It's terrible enough that you have me thinking about it...
Talk about breach of trust! Next thing you know you have me switch to Vivaldi.

I just click the X to the right of them and choose "don't show again" and they're gone.

@burnout426: Thank you! 2 remarks though. I am using the black theme on a dark background, the x was not noticeable to me until you mentioned it existed. Also, I wonder why I am being shown this when I clearly have disabled promoted content in all my settings. Thanks again though, without that, I would never have found the x.

I'm guessing these type of promotions are not tied to any setting. Something that could be fixed perhaps promotions in the future.

@max1c In settings.
Nope!
With specific settings disabled ads still show up. -

@temkem It seems that this is an another 'level' of ads (specially for Germany probably). There's some news article in the blog, but I don't understand German.

@andrew84 It talks about car insurance and a selection of portals that offer to do it!

@temkem yes, I understand that this is something about car insurance, I just didn't understand the details how does Opera cooperate here.
