Please make disabling more visible

Please put Disable option at the bottom of the page. I could not stand this and closed them immediately when they popped out. I looked around for the disable option but could not find it and had to research it. Not everyone is going to leave the popped out window open long enough for them to see the gear.

This wasted too much of my time. Don't hide it away please, make it easy for people who don't want it.

Thank you.

Thanks @Adam trev for the feedback. The team considered multiple options for enabling/disabling the feature. We tried to come up with a solution that works for the majority and found that a link in the footer was not the most discoverable. There are a lot of links there already and most folks don't even read those that are there! :) Our testing shows that folks know how to disable. Regardless, I've shared your note with the team for their consideration.

Thanks for the reply but it seem odd. I do not understand how there be a lot of links that are not used as good reason to not include it. It seems like a much more likely place than to hidden away in popped out you want to go away. Are you limited to one place and only the one? It can not be in the two places?

But thank you ok.

Hi. Just to say, I also do not think disabling is clear at all. I have spent a lot of searching to find this page and how to disable this (IMO) disruptive and intrusive change. I did not think to look at the actual pop-up because I was trying to do exactly the opposite to that! I also looked at the header and footer of the pages for settings instead.

Based on some of the feedback, I have created a ticket phab:T194345 to take another look at this, but it's going to be low priority I think.

Why is ok for "enable page views" at bottom but not "disable"? If as said people don't use others then why can put "enable" but not "disable". Why low priority? If one is there why not the other? Make no reasonable sense.
