    Could you guys please remove "Compare assets" window?
    I'm really tired of it. It pops up everytime and takes 20% of screen space. And there is no way to hide it once and for all.
    And from a developer's perspective, let me tell you something: you are not comparing assets by size / shape / color. These are not bananas or apples.
    Either the asset suits your project and budget, or it doesn't.

    PS: I already posted this request on the Asset Store forum, however it quickly drowned due to the active promotion of assets. Here is the link to the thread: https://forum.unity.com/threads/please-remove-compare-assets-window.1158722/

    Rather than fully remove it, make it only pop up when you really want to compare products. Just like how it should be.
     
    Joe-Censored and hopeful like this.

    THIS THIS THIS!

    A short while ago they had a huge banner at the bottom of the screen that would always appear in each window. Now they've removed that but they added a "compare" button underneath each and every asset, which is even worse. At least the banner I could close, but these buttons suck of screen space I can't get back.

    Why is it so hard to think people could open up new tabs to look at assets? This isn't the 90's and we aren't browsing in Netscape.

    It's a good feature but way too intrusive. Please save the state in a session so it'll only open up the next time I visit the asset store in a new window.
