Is there anyway to disable leech mode?

I’ve used legacy mobile for over 5 years and still use it for creating/adding to word lists, and then I switch to beta mobile for review (although HINT to staff I am still waiting for sounds of characters within words!).

I didn’t even know what a (digital) leech was. Never seen this behaviour. But then I never use the website for anything except to check my stats, and I go to the legacy website for that.

I am curious, what is the advantage to using the website to learn characters? I thought that would be pretty tedious, am I wrong?
