(how do i disable) new onscreen victory/defeat confirmation

yeah so (i'm playing from browser on a mobile/android device) there's this shiny new feature that i hate where after the match a little onscreen window pops up informing me that the match is over and who won, and how.

I'm capable of scrolling down a couple inches to see this information for myself. But I can't figure out how to disable this new feature. I find it very aggravating, whether I have won or lost.

Please help.

This is the third post about the same illegal move from developers, treating players like pawns... It's a gambit, those who don't like it, can argue with the moderators or leave

Honestly, this kind of move makes me want to quit the platform

Why do you assume that it's malicious? It's just a UI decision that is apparently upsetting to some, I also partial to the way it was before but, calling it illegal? Treating players like Pawns? What are you taking about?
Lichess is maintained by volunteers mainly so it's even more appropriate than at any other time to assume the best and be friendly why are you assuming the worst?

Forcing any change without an option to turn it off is a hostile act against users. The forced handicap pop up is an insult for those already used to the platform. I'm reacting accordingly.

You can sugarcoat it all you want, but this was a violent act againt user choice

As much as I agree with lonelypeanut, Triumphantly makes some good points, especially in #4. Quite frankly, I'm weary of major UI changes occurring without an option to disable them, especially obtrusive ones, as Instagram makes a regular habit of mistreating its users in this way.

I don't believe it was malicious, but I am certain it should not be a required part of the experience. Why incorporate something new where there wasn't previously a problem? Someone did extra work for no reason and now it's got users familiar with the website unhappy about the changes.
