Hi Opera Community
I am hoping someone can help me please?
All of a sudden the purple icon has appeared at the top my Speed Dial Home Page and and when clicked, There is the Advent Message as per the second image.
I click the X and Close it and it reappears again.
Is this some new feature or have I been infected with Malware?
I did a full scan with Micrsoft Defender and nothing showed up.
I am running Window 11 25H2 Build 2600.7171 and my Opera Version is 124.0.5705.65.
If this is some new feature does anyone know how to disable it please?
Regards Fitzy -

@Sequester I submitted a bug report. You can turn it off but it keeps coming back.
If I could turn it off and it stayed off It would not be so bad.
I have uninstalled that version and gone back to the previous version.
Also have disabled auto update for the time being.
regards

I asked about it in a Windows 11 Forum, the icon is for Opera to serve ads.
Brave is doing the same thing though they far more overt about it a full page ad on the start screen, an explnation and easy way to disable it.

Clicking the X and choosing "Don't show again" isn't working as intended at the moment, but Opera is checking it out. (There's already a bug for it.)
It's a legit fun, holiday feature though and not malware or anything.
