I removed whatsapp, instagram, facebook and all the other unnecessary crap from the sidebar several times, and Opera keeps adding them back in giving me the annoying popups about these various social media integrations, regardless of the fact that I've checked the "Don't Show This Again" check box. After several times of doing this, I disabled the sidebar altogether, yet, this morning the sidebar was showing and the social media icons back again and a popup trying to get me to try them. Iv'e already tried uninstalling and reinstalling so this is clearly intentional. Please fix this and give people the option to not have to see this crap!

Every time I open Opera, the side bar pops up with message to get me to install Whatapp on my computer. I have no interest in Whatsapp or any of the other crap that's on the side bar and no matter how many times I remove these apps/icons, they reappear after a few days and keep giving me these pop ups. Even hiding the sidebar doesn't work - after several days, it shows up again with all of the icons restored. I understand Opera is trying to make money with these silly partnerships, but what is the point of allowing users to remove them if you don't actually allow your users to remove them. Anyone have any success in getting rid of these things?
