@diezi , This looks like it may work, but a Huge pain in the ass.

I mean, why are they just not using the favicon from the site in the first place, or using the main color from the CSS or the image from the robots.txt file or anything that any normal human or crawler would use?

Here is a great example:

You want to save Craigslist and offerup, but both are purple with white letters.

If I google offerup and look at images, all I get are green images: https://www.google.com/search?q=offerup&client=opera&hs=1X0&sxsrf=ALeKk00P1_2hNXOQGxTaEtb5ZAuJE9d7Iw:1600122964855&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwin0KrH2unrAhVkIDQIHbzhDxQQ_AUoBHoECBkQBg&biw=1400&bih=701

The speed dial images are not a random choice, because if I delete it and add it again or do it from another computer, it's the same.

This is a bug and a UX flaw IMHO...

Albeit not life altering, in todays world it is a huge annoyance.

Re: Amazon for Opera

So, this annoying "feature" of being asked every time I visit Amazon, to install the Amazon Assistant add-on is going to be a deal breaker. It prompts me every time I visit the damn site.

I click the "Don't show this again" link and it disappears, only to reappear next time. What a shitty thing to do to people.

How can I make this stop?

Look, I am already a prime member and I already shop on Amazon, don't annoy the living shit out of me on a daily basis, it makes me resent the browser and Amazon all in one fell swoop.

It's like some sick type of torture.

How do I disable the banner ads that just started showing up on my start page?

Note: I am Not talking about ads on websites, popups or any malware.

I am talking about the default Opera, built in start page that is now showing ads.

If there is no way to disable it, you just lost me as a user.

@leocg Yes, here are 2

Well, I have them, but it looks like the forum is broken and you can't upload a jpg of 191kb??

×ERROR
Something went wrong while parsing server response

@leocg

No, I know what that is and I already have that disabled. These are banners from "sponsors" of opera. Just like that annoying Amazon ad-on extension prompt that purposefully never goes away, even when you select, "do not show again".

These are banners from places that I have Never visited on any computer in my life of internet usage.

Maybe you have a connection at Opera that you could reach out to and get the real answer?
