I to was having this same problem of the booksmark bar showing under my search page , what i tried was settings in advanced and set back to default then it seemed to disappear , when i set my own settings back in that i wanted , it showed up again . so i went back into settings and i turned off the free vpn that opera had ( i had turned it on to use it ( ) and it seemed to turn off the bar from showing up so far . so maybe that is the problem , will try to post on here if it doesn't keep working. i do know that if you use a opera extension vpn youtube videos don't show it gives a website can't be reached (youtubes way of keeping you from using it for privacy. ).
