Off-topic. What's up with that giant meaningless Ethereum logo image occupying 90% of my screen. Why are websites doing this?

Are you using NoScript or an adblocker? It is probably blocking a third-party script from loading that the site needs to render the rest of the page.

I get this too for the same reason, ad/script blocking.

It really tickles me to imagine the bewilderment of seeing a webdesign trend of starting every page with a giant static logo.

Yup I use ad blocker.
