Spam by ContentBlockHelper author: whochan

Hello
After the last update I received an unwanted inscription on the bottom of the browser. This inscription is also a link to Opera addons (https://addons.opera.com/en/addons/extensions/details/contentblockhelper/4.2.0/?display=en) and appears in different parts of the page.
This is very frustrating.
Someone can sort it out please?



Thank you.

See whochan's extensions - annoying ads
I would say if it bothers you then uninstall it.

It is not included in Opera, the only way to have it is by installing it.

Yes they are reported issues by people who have installed the ContentBlockHelper extension.
It's an extension there is no way for it to get into Opera unless it has been installed.

@sgunhouse; Stoffrusse:
Many thanks my friends, job done. "Image preview popup" is already dead.

Also, I can't find any whochan's extensions in Opera Unite, may have been deleted.

All whochan's extensions have now been deleted.

Thank you so much Stoffrusse for the "Image preview pop-up" extension removal tip. I was becoming very VERY annoyed with it, thanks for saving the day, and a piece of my sanity smile
