@bdoubleu Opera doesn't have it, at least since a decade.

Closest thing is the menu I mentioned above.

@kopollo A virus can launch a mini website locally on local addresses, then send the signal out to various locations to collect info. But also, if you are infected, this particular "safeguard" isn't going to protect you anyway.

Just for clarification, I am not talking about speed dial ads, I am talking about Amazon.com having a popup every other time I visit their website asking if I want to install their intrusive shopping extension.

Older versions allowed me to prevent these annoying popups from appearing, the same way I would globally prevent the browser from asking if I want to allow location.
This has since been removed and I am wondering why? Did Opera just simply decide that the payout from Amazon was enough to build in a defect so bad that the offset was worth it to them?

I thought we all unanimously agreed, back in the 90's, that popups were bad. I mean, even Google will can you entire site for doing it. But some how Opera managed to resurrect the allowance of it for Amazon, presumably for profit?
I am truly truly disappointed.
