After one of the latest updates Opera is showing speed dial entries in the context menu when I right click on the Opera item in Windows taskbar. It wasn't there before and I can't find any settings that would allow me to disable that.

Previously I would right click on the icon and click the third item from the top without much reading to open a new incognito window. Now I have to scan past seven items that I'm not even interested in just to get to "New tab", etc.

To illustrate, here's what I'm talking about:

How on earth can I get rid of that "Speed Dial" section? It's really unnecessary in that context.

I recently migrated to Vivaldi despite being an avid Opera user since around 2002. Over the last few years the browser has become too much like Chrome and Opera developers too much like Google developers - implementing features without adding any abilities to disable them, adding bloat that no-one asks for and afterwards ignoring all pleas from their community, which is what made them what they are.

Yes, a banner like this is a minor thing you might say, but it's an indication of a much bigger problem with their mentality. I liked Opera specifically because it was different and more customizable than others but it has slowly become faceless just like every other major browser.

Vivaldi has turned out to be pretty great. Not the best thing ever but way better and much more customizable than Opera. I have styled it the way I want, created custom images for tiles (something Opera STILL doesn't have) and it works like a treat. Sorry to say but Opera lost one very loyal customer.

This is so Opera - introduce a feature no-one asked for and then ignore everyone complaining about it. It would've taken them a couple hours to implement a toggle in the settings but hey, why bother when you can just ignore your users, right? It's like they're trying to find new ways to push users away from their browser. It's almost like every update adds some bloat that you have to turn off, some shopping "improvements" that I always disable or some warnings that you conveniently can't even hide.

Vivaldi and other browsers are looking like better and better alternatives with every release. Might as well just bite the bullet and leave Opera for once. Tired of them by now.
