1Password 7 - 7.9.833 "Dismiss" button of the 1Password 8 advertisement does not close.

This is from the release notes labelled under "improvements". Improvements for advertising? Improvements to make the interface more cluttered? I'm missing the whole improvements label I'm afraid.

"IMPROVEMENTS
- Added more information about 1Password 8 for Windows being available in various spots. {OPW-!2713}
- Updated the icon in our upgrade offer in the sidebar. {OPW-5165}"

There was no "upgrade offer in the sidebar", at least not a persistent one my version v7.9.832. I may have dismissed one so that it permanently disappeared the first time, and now it is just appearing under the help menu - which I can tolerate.

Personally, I will run version 7 and my standalone vault for as long as it can last. I just don't like subscriptions, plain and simple.

By 2030, according to the WEF, you will own nothing and you'll be happy and whatever you want, you will rent". It seems like that's the direction all companies are headed in. I'm not sure how I feel about that future to be honest. First it's Netflix, then its O365, followed by GamePass, then 1Password... It's just a lot of small, little subscription steps into a completely dependent future, isn't it...
