@johnlowrie Got rid of it in the end, for a while. There was an X to click but it was obscured as it corresponded with a small black part of my background image.

@myswtest No it was a statement about myself. When I go in to Settings, even advanced, I can't see what there is to try to switch off. Amazon told me I need to have an account with them for them, to help! I do appreciate you trying to help.

@myswtest I don't believe I am so stupid but can't see anything there to get rid of it. It would help if I knew how it got there. I don't shop at Amazon and won't with this hassle.

When I get time I will uninstall Opera. If it's there with a new install, then I'll just use Google Chrome etc.

@leocg Thank you. I can find no way of blocking this. If Opera insists on imposing it, then I'll change browser. It's a shame as I've used Opera for years and not had it before. Amazon has appeared occasionally as an item not a bold banner and in the suggested section but I can click to remove them.

Why does Opera impose the Amazon banner on us when we open the browser - and how can I get rid of it please, apart from changing to another browser?
