How to disable ads in speed dial? Removing them every time they shows up is tiresome after while and can't find anything in options.

@sgunhouse it's not about news section but speed dial itself- small icons just like bookmarks. From time to time opera just adds one or couple of them and I would like it to stop.

@robertj47 Not possible to block it at the moment. At least as far as I know.

If they are actual bookmarks that you didn't add yourself, then yes Opera adds partner bookmarks during updates from time to time.

I do like the speed dial style of Opera, but if these unwanted tiles can't be stopped then I will be uninstalling and switching to another browser.

@rogbiz You might wish to use com.sn.surfnew app as a speed dial overlay to open your web pages in Opera. This app is ad-free and also shows percent of changes in your sites' thumbnails and quick text previews

@sgunhouse The ads are still popping in to speed dial every three or four days. I'm assuming since it's been this long, and you just said yes, you do it, this isn't going to change? Just checking, as much as I like this browser, this is pretty annoying. It's not even so much about you putting an ad, I get that, but it messes up my arrangement of speed dials, and when I'm flying back and forth for work, and hit the wrong speed dial, because it was adjusted by an ad that popped in. That's really frustrating!

@gregraygun I don't work for Opera, but have no reason to believe it will change. Though I don't get them "every three or four days" so suspect you have something else going on.

@sgunhouse thanks, maybe im exaggerating, it's very annoying. I wish they'd do a banner over the speed links, just so at least the speed links would stay in the same order.

I'm having the same issue. Tinder icon gets added again and again.
I don't want anything to do with that despicable app.
