Make browse libraries buttons on home page optional?

Just curious from the Plex dev team if there are any plans to make the Browse Libraries buttons on the home page optional? Or perhaps it already is and I am missing something?

As of now it has really odd behaviours and personally I do not use it. I see that it might be useful for some but IMO an option to show/hide would be good.

For example,

  1. Even if browse is the Default Library View settings option is Browse, clicking on one of the buttons (e.g. movies) will navigate the user to the library but it will be set to Recommended
    1. The Browse button is highlighted but only the Recommended are shown
    2. Clicking on the bottom right Libraries button in the home page to navigate does keep the library view as expected/as per the settings option (i.e. Browse)
  2. With only recently added movies and shows on the home page, if there is nothing in the continue watching section of the home page, the buttons are in the middle of recently added movies and shows
    1. Once something is in the continue watching, the buttons are below the continue watching section but above both the recently released movies and shows

One small update is that in the recent beta (2025.30.0) they have fixed the browse libraries button to open the selected library in the correct navigation state.

Yeah I think that should be optional now. Originally that wasn’t there but people had such a difficult time finding their libraries that they added that. I think now that libraries are a bit easier to get to it could be eliminated. It really clutters up the Home screen.
