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.
