When you say "continuously", are you talking about every reload of amazon.com causes it to pop up?

Are you using Ccleaner or clearing history or something all the time?

I would say weekly, no ccleaner, just adblocker extension.

Also, I notice there's already an extension with a similar "a" on it in your picture - what is that?

That's exactly the extension Opera is pushing to install, it shows up with the pop-up, and disappear when clicking no.

It pops up IN th extension icon area when I visit Amazon site, note the icon for Amazon shopping, which I do not have installed, and disappears (at least temporarily) if I click no.

So if not pushed by Opera, it's at least sanctioned by Opera. Otherwise you have a serious security flaw since Amazon can mess with browser components.

The old way of showing it only on speed dial page was good, the new way of either showing all the time or hiding all the time is stupid

Why keep fixing things that aren't broken until they are broken? Did Opera fire the entire design team and hire a bunch of complete newbies? Many of the recent design changes completely baffles me,

See attached screenshot. Opera continuously asking me to intall Amazon extension, despite choosing NO multiple times.

Why is Opera spamming users on install shopping extension, or allowing website to do this, even after user choose not to many many times?

I've posted this before which fell on deaf ears, so here we go again.

The amount of ads inserted into newsfeed is just insane now. I know you have to appease to the new Chinese overlords but this is getting ridiculous. Look at this screenshot I took below, 50% of the real estate is devoted to ads, 50%! Would anybody even visit a site that's composted of 50% ads?

I've been using Opera since it was a paid software, but between it being sold to Chinese company and the insane ads, it's getting harder and harder to continue.

Ads are necessary, I get it, but lately I see three topics, an almost full page ad, three more topics, then another almost full page ad.

50% of the real estate taken up by ads is a bit excessive wouldn't you agree? Sync stopped working quite a while back, please don't give people another reason to jump ship.

No keyboard unfortunately, also no back button on windows tablet. I'm using opera literally everywhere, desktop, laptop, tablet and my phone (android), even turned my girlfriend to Opera coast on her iphone, she likes it a lot better than whatever came with ios.

Press and hold, wait for right click to register, then wait a bit more for the context menu to pop up, then find back from the menu and press.

Not bad if you need to do it once or twice (like exit full screen, since there's no esc key), but use it to access back it gets annoying fast.

After using a windows tablet I will never use an ios/android one again, and I predict Windows tablet is going to get a lot more popular, hope Opera stays on top of it, been using Opera since back when you have to pay for it.

Does Opera have a gesture (or similar) control to go back to a previous page, in full screen mode on a windows tablet? I know I can "right click" but that's a pain do on touch screens. Something similar to Opera coast on apple, if you will.
