How to stop request

​How can we stop the ​​Sign In (New Customer?)​​ box from popping up all the time? I have no need to log in and it covers info I'm interested in.​

Thank you so much!

To confirm, if you close it, the box keeps appearing?

Yes, on every new page that opens.  I don't need it to open at all, since there is a login link already on the page.

@no_spam_gju69lum645l6​  This is not the intended behaviour, sorry.  Please see https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/general-information/why-is-imdb-displaying-differently-on-my-browser/GF2ZAR69V859XLHF and note the point on ad-blockers likely interfering with the display of our pages.  Trying again in an incognito window should confirm this.

Why is it necessary to beg for a Sign In just below the Sign In link in the first place? What does this accomplish other than annoying the user?

@no_spam_gju69lum645l6​ The sign-in reminder is designed to appear only briefly and only occasionally. If you are using unsupported software, such as an ad-blocker, to interfere with the IMDb experience then it sounds like your issue is with the provider of that (badly designed) software, sorry.

AdBlocker is poorly designed? I thought it was the flagship adblocker?  Which ones are better?

As I asked, why is a reminder to log in necessary in the first place? What does logging in provide that I require? What does it do for IMDB other than tracking?

@no_spam_gju69lum645l6​ Not to be rude! But I wounder how maytimes you are going to post the same question when you already got an answer. Even if it was asen't one that you wanted

I didn't get an answer to what's so important about logging in...

AAMOF I disabled the AdBlocker and STILL get the request to sign in. So the answer was bogus. It still appears.
