Opera silently puts advertising in SpeedDial
Hi, I'm a long time Opera user, since the 90s, but now when Chromium is used as the main engine I can see Opera uses sneaky ways to put advertisers on my custom SpeedDial screen, I've seen this from time to time, sometimes they put 4, sometimes 1 sponsored page. Do you see the same sneaky behaviour?
- Joona 11y agoI think they've done it in Presto too, when updating to a new version.
- StripeNoGood 11y agoNo! They didn't. I've been using Opera for more than 15 years. I would notive immediately.
- Joona 11y agoI definitely got bookmarks at the very least. Not sure about speed dial, that may have been only on fresh installs or on chromium. It's been quite a while since Presto last updated. :)
- DrScump 11y agoOn Android, I got a "starter set" in Speed Dial, including: Play Now Free VPN Amazon CNN then later, they snuck in: Nordstrom Walmart Booking.com
