Why is software so naggy now, why can’t I just use something for a purpose without first having to click off several “did you know…” boxes that infest my screen?

Teams does it… Seems I can’t just do my job without having to dismiss some blue box with “Got it” in the bottom corner.

Every app I install on my phone seems to give me an idiot-proof initial experience where the screen greys out and I have to specifically tap on bits of UI while I’m told how to do basic functions of the app – which I will immediately forget.

And Firefox is especially bad now.

Did you know you can pin an AI chatbot to your sidebar? Did you know you have tabs? Did you know you can have multiple profiles? Did you care, or do you just want to browse the web without adverts and their own popup spam which is why you use Firefox in the first place?

We’re not alone and it appears there is an off switch in Firefox https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1kz3x4e/how_do_i_disable_the_constant_popups_about_new/

Just put your new software features in a changelog where I can ignore it, and let me discover new features by myself.
