<![CDATA[Amazon Promotion Extension]]>Hello,

Just installed Opera browser. I see that there is already an Amazon Promotion Extension installed. However, I'm unable to uninstall or disable it. It doesn't appear in the Manage Extensions list either.

So how do I remove it? Or do I just remove Opera browser all together?

I do not want Any adware in Opera, no trackers, no ad or analytic, just private browsing.

I unpinned the Amazon assistant and it came back on next session

What files need editing to rid my system if this Amazon trojen?

I do not mind if I had to edit the registry, but I would rather opera just respects my choices in settings, i.e.

Display promotional notifications
Receive promotional Speed Dials, bookmarks and campaigns

Both Disabled

After installing i see second icon of Amazon. Then I delete extension and second icon disappeared, but first icon has remained.

It used to be a really great lightweight browser without all this crap, time to switch again.

There's plenty of fish in the sea browsers around, so I've long moved away from Opera and will probably not return. The end user should always be in control of their software, so this was a very crap move on their part.

Essentially they had the tolerability to unveil it. Despite the fact that, my theory is that their game plan with Amazon wouldn't permit in any case.

Fortunately, upon additional examination, this can be "eliminated" generally without any problem. You can do it one of two different ways:

Visit amazon.com from the location bar, and in the case that consequently opens in the top, right, select "Don't show this once more"

On the off chance that "Amazon advancement" ends up appearing in your "Oversee modules" box, simply click the Pin close to "Amazon advancement". Then, at that point, click the light green "a" symbol that shows in the toolbar. Then, at that point select "Don't show this once more". 👈

In any event, doing a full settings reset I was simply ready to get it to return one time. Different occasions, remember can't help thinking that I don't need it. Expectation this aides somebody.

If you just have the icon where the actual extension hasn't been installed, goto https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/amazon-for-opera/ and install the extension. Then, remove the extension. That should get rid of the icon and hopefully stop it from coming back.

This solution worked for me. Thanks.

I've been ignoring this for a while as I never had the time to google a solution for this annoyance but forcing extensions down one's throat is just not right. I have a zillion extensions I never installed not ever use and now I'm removing Opera altogether as I decide what's on my computer, and there's plenty of other good browsers out there... Used to be an Opera fan but with these built-in extensions that keep re-appearing no matter how many times you "hide" them, that's just the final drop... Moving on to less obtrusive browsers.

It causes extensions that I use regularly and want to see to be pushed down off screen. I can hide it, but it keeps coming back. Not cool. I would like to be able to do more than hide it--I want to remove it completely. I've been very happy with Opera for a few years now, but I will switch browsers if this kind of crap continues.

With Opera version 75.0.3969.243, the Amazon extension-app is not placed in the main Manage Extensions settings menu but within the Manage Sidebar setting menu, under Sidebar Extensions. In here is is where I used the 2nd Method mentioned in post by josh143

An important note: a user should always read the fine print regarding Usage Policy, Permissions, Privacy and Rights.
The Permissions enabled for this Amazon Sidebar Extension are the following:

Not good Opera to install this kind of stuff without possibility to remove that as others extensions (At least it's not necessary to the good functioning of your browser!)

I never noticed them in my list prior to yesterday, and it looks like none of them can be removed:

Aliexpress observer
Amazon promotion
Background worker
Bookmarks
Chromium PDF Viewer
CryptoTokenExtension
Google Hangouts
News feed handler
Onboarding popup
Opera Crypto Wallet
Rich Hints Agent
Stormcrow
Video handler

On the other hand, if there's an extension that should not be on that list, I'll take that as a sign to uninstall and reinstall.

At least they had the decency to disclose it. Although, my guess is that their arrangement with Amazon wouldn't allow otherwise.

The good news is that, upon further investigation, this can be "removed" relatively easily. You can do it one of two ways:

  1. Visit amazon.com from the address bar, and in the box that automatically opens in the top, right, select "Don't show this again"
  2. If "Amazon promotion" happens to show in your "Manage plug-ins" box, then just click the Pin next to "Amazon promotion". Then, click the light green "a" icon that shows in the toolbar. Then select "Don't show this again".

Even doing a full settings reset I was only able to get it to reappear one time. Other times, it seems to remember that I don't want it. Hope this helps someone.
