@Mlipka Thanks for reply. I notice that this extension gets triggered each time any tab is opened AND closed (even ones which are not loaded & closed by right click) and it appears anytime the tab one is on does some background activity. I haven't looked at the details of the 'special extension' (code) but it appears to be very intrusive. Frankly, i think the reason & nature of this extension & why it can't be disabled should be clearly stated....after all Opera has a better reputation than say Yandex or Edge (or even Chrome).

Just to add more context, i know this is not isolated as i see the same extension on different laptops. Also this extension is not visible in Extensions. Only when one launches the task manager can this extension be observed.

@muthukumaranl Even if i kill it from task manager it relaunches the next time i open a website...i have switched away from using opera for senstiive financial transactions, purchases, etc.

Hi Folks,

I have been noticing for a while that there is a hidden opera authored extension 'enegjkbbakeegngfapepobipndnebkdk' for capitaloneshopping that can't be disabled.

This 'rougue' extension seems to get launched discreetly & then closed every time for every interaction made on opera. This despite the fact that i had disabled cash back setting in the settings a while back (in the current version the setting is not there only the one related to 'Show cashback badge in all workspaces' is present which is off)

My question is why is this extension getting triggered to do something on every interaction, what is the justification for this?

Why isn't this privacy intrusion stated clearly anywhere?

Is there a way to disable this in any way?

Thanks
Lmk

Yeah! At last! We can finally start using opera again.

@burnout426 Thank you for your response...Lets hope it was not an intentional change...in direction..

@burnout426 said in "Block third-party cookies" option under "Third-party cookies" is no longer selectable:

@muthukumaranl I asked internally to see if this is know (as I didn't see a bug report for it internally). Waiting on an answer. Will let you know if a bug report it is needed or not when I find out.

Do you have any info that you can share on the team's plan for this issue? It seemed like a blocker issue to me but i already saw two updates hence & this is not picked up...

@elec-tonic Thank you! That code though "BS-"...sorry I can't not poke fun on that..:-)

@elec-tonic Looks like the issue tracker (https://bugs.opera.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa) is not accessible to the public. Since you were able to access & open a bug, it would be nice if you could share what the status of it is or what if any comments have been logged..

@elec-tonic Do you mind sharing the bug ID or link please. I did a quick search & couldn't find any...
