Game icon hijacked my Speed Dials
-
I'm getting advertising pages when I launch the browser, Norton, McAfee, Ali express. I also see some sort of game icon that appears on the Start page. I'm not a gamer and want that to go away. How do I fix this, I am synced on 6 computers and all of them are doing it. Hope I don't have to reload them all.

@jhs_61 The default speed dial bookmarks are how Vivaldi makes some money. You can simply delete those that you are never likely to use.

@hlehyaric @jhs_61 Or, even simpler
I'm not a gamer and want that to go away
right click on game icon > untick "show game on speed dial".
I'm getting advertising pages when I launch the browse
- Let us know ad links (please replace HTTPS with HxxPS)
- Let us know your extensions (some could inject ads in pages)
- Test with private/guest window to see if it happens there
- Block notifications (
chrome://settings/content/notifications
) - Unregister service workers
vivaldi://serviceworker-internals
If you just mean default speed dial entries you never add... just remove them and they shouldn't appear again.
