Disable Shortcuts

[midnight]

I like the shortcuts because that's how I get on Avast and Facebook

Thanks again Bob, but doesn't work out that way here. 

Open/Close browser after removing ad shortcuts and then opening browser again results in same two shortcuts popping back in again.

Come to think of it, this is not unlike remote clicking of the links, (Click Fraud) thus monetizing the start page.  Else, why have the links return every time they are removed by the user?

Another way to return is by using Ctrl+Shift+Delete after removing ad shortcuts.  Seems doing a simple clean is enough to make these things re-appear.  Reproducible.

If it's not working for you, are you using the stable version or, the beta version
I'm on the stable version.

Here you go:

I believe this is the stable version.

For the record, I'm on ASB beta-channel. (Currently on V73.0.1270.87)

You're also not up to date.

May 3, 2019 ASB got another shortcut:  See attached below.

New one is Overstock, old are Amazon, and Booking.com.  So, instead of two, we now have three, and I suppose, over time, they will continue to multiply.

Hover your mouse over the shortcut and click on the X to close it.
I closed Overstock that way the first day it came out and haven't seen it since.

Lucky you!!!

I assume you don't clear your ASB of webdata after every session, as I do, using ASB Privacy Cleaner?

[Asyn]

As said (Reply #7), it doesn't work for me either - no matter if I clean data or not.

I don't clear the web data after every session. I highly doubt that closing the shortcuts only working for me.

Hi Bob, no idea, but it doesn't work here. Cheers

Fixed for me in V74, thanks to the devs..!!

Sorry to report, but shortcut issue is still live for me.

ASB version 74.0 seems to have introduced a new setting -- dark themed windows -- with no way to revert to white or light theme windows?
