I'd like to express my displeasure with the ads (bookmarks added by Opera) in my speed dial. Every week or two I have to go and delete these ads. Neither chrome nor mozilla have had to turn into adware to survive. I'd greatly prefer if Opera stopped doing this.
Yes. I confirmed the update is bringing the booking.com speed dial entry back. I was able to reproduce it on my work machine too. Are you not affected?
Yes, i am and that's the reason for have asked about it.
Every time i update or reinstall Opera, some SD entries come back.
Just curious are the entries that come back for you Opera partners like booking.com that Opera pre-loads into SD by default?
I haven't manually updated, no.
And what about automatic updates?
Yes. I confirmed the update is bringing the booking.com speed dial entry back. I was able to reproduce it on my work machine too. Are you not affected?
This might be a bit hyperbolic but it looks like Opera is trying to turn their browser into adware if this wasn't some kind of mistake they made.
It came back again! Stop!
Have you installed Opera again or have updated it?
I haven't manually updated, no. It seems like programmed behavior as lestalia said they were affected as well.
I'm using Opera beta 29.0.1795.30. I deleted the booking.com speed dial entry that comes with the default installation months ago, but recently, (last 1-2 weeks) something has been recreating it. It doesn't seem to occur at startup. Perhaps it is being recreated after every update. Is this intentional? If so, please stop. I don't like having to delete it multiple times.
They broke this a few versions back (not during the Presto -> Blink switch). I submitted a bug report a month ago to add the ctrl and alt + click functionality back to "Go to web address". DNA-31781. Really disappointing that they break such a useful feature.
