[1145] Unwanted links in Speed Dial

After installing 11.60 v. 1145 I found six more links in my Speed Dial: Opera Portal, Yandex, Booking.com etc. WHAT"S THIS?

These come with the default installation and sometimes get messed up with your setup. Also happened to me with the first 11.60 snapshot.

They appeared after first sync, not immediately after installing.

I wouldn't claim that Link is perfect...

It happened to me too, I had a bunch of random bookmarks in my Opera file in my bookmarks panel and I had new speed dials AFTER sync with Opera Link. I filed a bug report.

I had some and Opera Link isn't enabled. They were chuntering away trying to do something so I deleted them.

They are not random, but just sponsored links. It is one of the side-effects of having a free, but ad-sponsored browser. Just delete them, or maybe visit them to keep the pennies rolling in to Opera's coffers.
