@leocg - omg, thanks! I dug around all over the place but somehow missed that one toggle. Appreciate you taking the time to reply.

New to Opera as I'm trying to de-google myself. Using Opera One on Windows 11 Pro and so far, so good but there's one thing that's hugely irritating that I've been unable to find any info about.

What is this button (circled in red on the attached image) over my crossword puzzle?? I can't dismiss it, it randomly appear then disappears then reappears. I've tried turning off video pop ups & other seemingly related settings but nothing works. I can't even figure out what it's supposed to do. Looks like video ff but there's no video on my puzzle.

Ideas? Workarounds? Suggestions gratefully appreciated.
