Anyone else hate the new ComfyUI Login junk as much as me?

The way they are trying to turn the UI into a service is very off-putting to me. The new toolbar with the ever-present nag to login (starting with comfyui-frontend v 1.30.1 or so?) is like having a burr in my sock. The last freaking thing I want to do is phone home to Comfy or anyone else while doing offline gen.

Honestly, I now feel like it would be prudent to exhaustively search their code for needless data leakage and maybe start a privacy-focused fork whose only purpose is to combat and mitigate their changes. Am I overreacting, or do others also feel this way?
