The new designmakes imdb difficult to use for everybody

@JimDeWind  Thanks for the feedback.  Please see https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/common-issues/why-is-imdb-displaying-differently-on-my-browser/GF2ZAR69V859XLHF and let us know what happens.  It sounds like a local problem and something is interfering with your web browser.  

We do occasionally run title take-overs for advertisers on a limited number of titles where the page is themed to match the poster, but this is not a new change (we have been doing this for 10+ years). It sounds like you are reporting a more general problem across all titles? 

Hope this helps. 

I have this too on Chrome (Android) and Firefox (Computer) on title and name pages, i thought this is a default view after last rededign, isn't it?

Agree with JimDeWind, it makes text (mainly plot outline/summary) much harder to read, background can be any color (depends on main photo) which is also not pleasing to eyes. Simple black color/background was much better.

Also, font size is reduced after last update, I need to use zoom every time to read plot outline/summary on my phone, and it is made more difficult becuse of aforementioned color backgrounds.

Please, remove this color changing effect, it's unnecessary.

Several examples:

Oh no, color experiment is back again. Everything was normal for about a week (perfect dark mode), and now again with this... 🙁

My laptop is having hard times dealing with this new blurry background on any title page (see screenshot below). Page loads slower than before, scrolling is not smooth, and any action is being delayed. Though it happens only on title pages, and only with blurred part visible on my screen, it completely ruins experience of using whole website.

I use latest Firefox on Win 11, but with Edge it is also bad. I've never experienced such bad lags on any other website, besides Youtube in 'ambient mode', which creates similar blurry background effect, but at least on YT it can be switched off easily. So I blame this (CSS?) effect. Is there any way to disable it?

This color change "experiment" is one of the very few things on IMDb that I will probably never get used to.

It looks cheap, ugly and definitely too distracting, it HIDES the content, plot outline is practically unreadable, those colors should be more neutral, like on streaming sites, they need to be "behind" the content, not to hide it. I really hope this is not the final version.

Still terrible and totally unnecessary experiment, definitely ruined my IMDb experience.
