Any way to completely remove "Show News" option. I just want to lock myself out of seeing any sort of news in any way. For this reason, I purchased Cold Turkey Blocker which is very helpful so far but apps like Opera have in-built news that too on new tab page (which I really Like btw) making it nearly impossible for me atleast to block it.

I checked opera://flag settings but no flag with news or newsfeed in it. What seemed closest was Content Picks and Start Page Content Phase 2 so disabled those and restarted Opera. Still the "show news" option won't go away.

If I don't find a way to completely remove the Show News option, sadly will have to remove Opera.

If this interests: Using Opera Desktop (version: 118.0.5461.60) on windows 10.

Hope someone can help.

@rajeshakal Why remove the option? Just turn it off and leave it off.
