 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.
