      I'm new to Opera and everything was fine until I updated to the latest version and a pop-up window appeared on the left side of the screen, every time I open a new tab, as shown in the image.
      Can someone tell me how to remove that popup?
      OS: Ubuntu 18.04

        @adejonghm Yes, someone can help you when you:

        • tell us what Opera
        • make your screenshot visible
        • tell us what pop-up window with what
        • describe a little circumstances of those events

        Have a nice day.

          @adejonghm I had the same issue caused by adware affecting my browser. I did these things to remove it.
          On linux-mint I used timeshift to go GOBACK to a safe restore point. I enabled "block-adware" on Opera Advance->settings->

          • "Block ads and surf the web faster" -enabled

          • Block trackers "manage exceptions-w gmail" -enabled.

          • Install a third partner extension "Badger" -enabled.
