Re: Stop with the annoying sidebar and social media selling!

This is still an issue. For Opera to really make me feel like my privacy is their concern, they need to stop this kind of insidious and obnoxious behavior. You know what kind of company intentionally overrides your settings in order to advertise to you? The same kind that will gladly collect and sell all of your personal data to the highest bidder. If this keeps up, I'm going back to Firefox.

Thanks, good to know that the emails aren't marketing emails and that I can turn them off to a degree. It's a shame there's no way to disable the sidebar app situation, because to this one's own, it's incredibly annoying.

I am constantly having apps added to my left menu (Twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger) without having done it myself. I nevwr want this to happen. Every time, I have to manually remove it. While the process of removing it isn't terribly difficult, it is incredibly annoying to have to keep doing it when I already have it set up the way I want.

Is there a setting somewhere to prevent this from happening?

Also, since I'm here, it's absurd that I have to agree to receive marketing emails just to join the forums.
