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.

It's pretty clear by this point that this "experiment" is a big fat fail, please let it die.

I'm using Opera on my phone and computer, and have been using it since it was paid/ad supported. Lately it feels like the devs are forcing more and more crap onto the users, with more and more incentive for users to switch platform.

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?

At one point recently we could expand it to show more than three, now that's also gone.

And it doesn't even show the most recent three tabs, it seems to pick and choose on what closed tabs to show, and quite frequently the one I want isn't in it even though I just closed it 30 seconds ago.

Why?

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.

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,

@tauto I'm on 71.0.3770.148 (regular windows version) and the button is there. Well sort of, as part of the search open tabs button.

Just checked update and the "show more" is back, haven't noticed if any recent tabs are missing yet.

Although I would've preferred if it's expanded by default, or at least an option to keep it expanded.

Does Vivaldi has password storage and sync between desktop/android client?

Right now the pain of migrating stored password is pretty much whats keeping me from migrating to something else.

Why?

@andrew84 Thanks, seems like a step back towards the right direction.

@andrew84 Can you post a screenshot of what it looks like? I've already disabled Opera update and don't plan to do so until this is fixed.

I'd like to think this thread was the drive behind that, but in reality I don't know if they even bother to read any of this.

@burnout426 said in Why is Opera spamming me on installing shopping extensions?:

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.
