This seems to have literally rolled out this morning while I was browsing the site, so I'm not sure if I'm in an A/B test or what.
I use a favorite bookmark of eReaderIQ to store the price range paramater as I browse the site (
https://www.ereaderiq.com/watched?hp=600&lp=100), but when I pulled it up, none of the filters were applying. And when I checked the sidebar, they were all greyed out. That's when I noticed the little pop-up hint next to a question mark:

So...that's new. And disappointing. I mean I
do have an account, but the account is password-protected with a randomly-generated password and I don't necessarily sign in to every device where I might pull up this page.
I wonder what prompted the change. Are "anonymous" users not providing enough revenue for their advertisers anymore?
