    How does Opera decide which websites to place as tiles on a fresh launch?

      Recently did a clean up of my computer and Opera loaded with a fresh environment. I found the following tiles being loaded in the start page. Am just curious what influences the browser to decide the particular website shortcuts to be placed in the startup tab.

      Because with the current presentation none of these websites are my preferred and/or recently visited ones?

      Is this any malware issue?

        In the install folder, in the latest version folder, in the resources folder, there's "partner_speeddials.json". You can open it with a text editor or JSON viewer to see.

          Yep. I got it in the following folder

          %appdata%/Opera Software/Opera Stable

          Is it fine to delete or modify this file? Or do we need to override these settings elsewhere?

            @lavanyadeepak-0 Most probably Opera will just replace the removed or modified file.

              @lavanyadeepak-0 Delete it and the "Bookmarks" and "BookmarksExtras" files while Opera is closed to reset all the tiles and bookmarks. But, you might end up with the same thing again depending on your locale.
