v81 passthrough update thoughts?

Just updated my quest 3 to v81 3 days ago. Personally, I absolutely despise the new passthrough. The "see your surroundings" is super unnecessary, and doesn't even really improve convenience. I much preferred the old passthrough. Just a double tap and I'm back in home, while in passthrough. I could walk wherever I wanted, then go back and resume with a double tap. Now? I have to have this annoying "resume" popup constantly on my screen, can't even access my menu without exiting passthrough and then pressing the menu button, then manually activating passthrough again. And when I walk out of the boundary, it now keeps pestering me with "create a new boundary here?" With no option for "no." I absolutely despise this update. I really, really want an option to just go back to v79 passthrough. And even then, the switch to passthrough and back feels so much slower. I don't want to see a pink abyss when I double tap on my headset! Old one was so much better. I regret updating so badly. Please, Meta, add an option for old passthrough. Don't force this inferior, "updated" version on us, please. 

sorry about the rant, just had to get it out of me.

Wanted to know if anyone else shares my frustrations.

    You're rather late to the party. V81 was released on PTC on 25th August and officially released on 6 October 😁. v83 is now in the works on PTC since 27th October 😆.

  • I got my V81 update today (funny to see how this is already 4 months old update and I only got it today!!), and I absolutely hate it. 

    Not only has Meta completely messed the home environment by pushing their worlds bull**** on it, but it also drains my quest 2 battery much faster (in about 20 minutes of usage our of which 15 was in FitXR I already lost 40% of my battery).
