Getting warnings from security people at work because of GX Corner

I love OperaGX and use it on all of my machines. From daily driver, to gaming machine to my Visual Studio developer machine.

Even at work I use it....and here's the problem.

Our security people have sent me a message asking why I constantly access "games and other blocked content" while at work.

Short answer is I don't, but Opera GX does by default. Even though I told it to turn those features off.

It hasn't. Opera GX Corner is still trying to load "https://v6.gxcorner.games/" even though I have disabled all of that in the settings.

Can this behaviour be changed please. If I turn off a feature, It should stay Off!

Screen shot of what I'm seeing

GX Corener is turned off, but something is firing the security software. Always with the "https://v6.gxcorner.games/" URL which triggers the software.

@OldCrow69 There is now a way to disable GX Corner? Before you could only put it on sidebar.

@leocg Thanks for the reply.

Yes I have the option in setting and sidebar setting to turn off GX Corner.

Yet, something is still trying to load that URL

The security software would not fire if Opera GX wasn't trying to load that domain.

@OldCrow69 Where is the option to disable GX Corner, I couldn't find it. I on;y the option to send it to sidebar, what doesn't disable it and, of course, doesn't prevent its content to be fetched.

@leocg Putting it in the sidebar and closing any open tabs should be enough, I would think.

You would think that turning it off....would stop it.....but no, it doesn't

@OldCrow69 I wouldn't think that.
