Permanently disable “Welcome to the block editor”

Description

There needs to be an option baked into WordPress to permanently disable the “Welcome to the block editor” popup. I understand what the block editor does, I don't need to be reminded.

Every time I clear my browser cookies/cache, and log back in, this popup reappears.

There is no built-in option to permanently disable it. Self-hosted WordPress sites should have the option to reject requests to s.w.org

  • I have to use a local proxy to actually block requires pulled from s.w.org rendering the “Welcome to the block editor” popup broken with missing elements.

I don't use plugins, and have no need for them. Using a plugin to disable the “Welcome to the block editor” adds more complexity to my setup.

I login to my WordPress website to post or edit an existing post/page and don't need distractions like this “Welcome to the block editor” popup.

Hi and thanks for the report!

The main concern of the popup is discussed on the following issue, and there has been some recent progress toward saving preferences to the user account.

Moving/replacing the images coming from the s.w.org CDN can be discussed on this issue.

I'll close this ticket, but please join the discussion on either of those issues.
