There was an X to click but it was obscured as it corresponded with a small black part of my background image.

When I go in to Settings, even advanced, I can't see what there is to try to switch off. Amazon told me I need to have an account with them for them, to help! I do appreciate you trying to help.

No one suggested "stupid". I don't shop Amazon either, but I have seen similar when I initially installed Opera. I had to turn off a number of settings (one by one) until it disappeared.

Sometimes the "naming" of the setting is illogical, ie, I'll turn a setting OFF, and something disappears, and I say to myself, "what the heck, that doesn't make sense". Also, there's a setting or two where they phrase the setting description as a -reverse negative-, which can confuse.

When I get time I will uninstall Opera. If it's there with a new install, then I'll just use Google Chrome etc.

Yea, I agree ... you obviously have a promo-type setting enabled, but maybe you're unsure where to look. Start with the Start Page section in Settings. I never see fluff like that.

I can find no way of blocking this. If Opera insists on imposing it, then I'll change browser. It's a shame as I've used Opera for years and not had it before. Amazon has appeared occasionally as an item not a bold banner and in the suggested section but I can click to remove them.

There are few settings related to promotional stuff, try disabling them.
