And how do I get it to go away? It pops up now after i was booted and TA asked if I wanted to set up a passkey for login. It is very annoying to have a floating orb on every screen.

Yeah, it's annoying. And if you opt-out or uncheck all of the data it wants to share, it doesn't go away.

Staaaaffff?!?

Meh. I've noticed this, but it's not an overwhelming annoyance just yet.

Yea that's the only way I view this site.

This thing reminds me of those ******ed chat heads some of the messaging apps used to offer that were so ridiculously obnoxious.

It's just there to remind us we're all Texags slaves and they make money off our online personalities and the content we create.

It was showing up for me on the left side all the time in the same place; now it shows up on the right, but only when I scroll all the way to the bottom of the page.

That is for the straight forums of TexAgs.

Looks like you're locked out for being gay.

Sorry OP.

Is that why the icon switched to a cage?

Hopefully Brave continues to be a step ahead of this kind of service. I've been reading Texags since 2001. If the site tries to recoup "Adblock recovery" I can divest my time here for sure.
