How to disable country selection EVERY TIME you enter in the MATLAB sites?

I think it is definitely the time to do this question myself. I have spend a long time thinking that it was to obvious and they will fix it someday but that day is not coming.

Every time you enter in a MATLAB site (mathworks.com) you get the super annoying country selector FULL SIZE blocking you view, every, every time. Having cookies enabled and still I am ask this every time.

It is not like I want to solve the problem concerning exclusively me. This is a recommendation for the MATLAB UX team, please, you don´t need to cover the full view of the forum every time someone is trying to search a brief answer given in a thread accessing from a search engine... Not only that, but picking a country in every of your devices, plus the information not being saved properly and you get ask the same again and again...

I think every user and every coworker has probably noticed this. If what I search for, is in one language, keep it in that language and ask on a top/down bar to pick a country/region/alternative language (in case that stats are of that high value to the company, which I understand). Does not cover the whole content. That would be just wonderful. And if the information could get saved to not to be asked again, even better.

Sincerely, D.

As far as I can tell, your selection should be stored in a cookie. You could check which cookies are being stored, to confirm if TMW stores one, and that it still exists when you restart your internet browser.

Install this firefox extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/codeinjector/

then copy paste this code and inject

setInterval(function() {
document.body.className = document.body.className.replace("modal-open","");
document.body.className = document.body.className.replace("mlc modal-open","");
document.body.className = document.body.className.replace("mlc","");
}, 200);

I feel confident this alone solves the issue.

However I also added these ublock origin rules (install here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/)

go in the ublock origin dashboard and add

In ublock origin section, removing the https:// from the first line did the trick for me..

Thank you Ceasar_Ullrich9 ! :-)

For those who are unaware where the dashboard is,

1) Click on ublock origin icon (chrome extension)

2) Click on that thing which looks like settings (with 3 gears)

3) In My Filters, copy the above code.
