@mewquest Same here. It also loads on certain shopping sites. I am at a loss. Possibly a bug in this version: 86.0.4363.59

@mewquest i disabled every single flag in opera://flags , and it still loaded. this seems to be a built into the browser ad that cannot be disabled.

@mewquest
Looks like some extension to me.

@donq its not. it loads in incognito with all entensions disabled. it is an ad built into the browser, opera even watermarked it.

@mewquest I had the same issue and resolved it by deleteing the file "affirm_whitelist.json" in the AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable directory

@mewquest It just started for me today also. Very annoying and insulting. I disabled cookies, blocked anything I could and the most annoying thing is when you close it with the x it automatically pops up again and again. FU Affirm !!!!!!

@mewquest How insulting that advertisers will no longer take no for an answer as if I would do business with them after they continuously harass me.

Seems that Opera is in biz with Affirm and I can't find a way to stop the annoying affirm popup when I visit ebay.
Cookies and blocking don't help. Its not an add on. Closing out the affirm window doesn't work cuz it just reopens itself again and again.
I'll no longer be using Opera if this is how they will treat us

@mewquest I have done everything I can think of and cannot diable it. It evens loads on some other shopping sites. Is there only two of us with this issue? It started with this revision: 86.0.4363.59

All of a sudden I am also getting this Highly annoying side window on Ebay. I don't know if it is Ebay or Opera that has the issue, but I don't DARE click on the Continue button. I also can't see it with the page inspector which scares me.

I right-clicked on the link, copied the address, then pasted into Notepad... the link is:

https://www.affirm.com/shop/opera?domain_ref=ebay.com

Hi all

All of a sudden I am getting a highly annoying window that at first seemed to be an issue Ebay. But now it is showing up on other websites as well, like Samsung and Tracfone.

I close it and it just comes back. I don't dare click on the link/button, but the link address is:
https://www.affirm.com/shop/opera?domain_ref=ebay.com

I found a file called "afirm_whitelist.json" in the C:\Users*user*\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable folder. Deleting or changing this file causes the ad to stop appearing temporarily. Seems to overwrite after a refresh or new window being opened.

@mewquest maybe time to ditch Opera, if that is the case.

@ttlgs never mind. I delete it and it recreates itself. I rename it and same thing - recreated.
