In the old web store, when visiting a page of a "Mature" tagged Chrome extension, a prompt showed that told you to sign in to view this page.

In the new web store, it appears as though the page doesn't exist at all.

See this extension for example

Hi Amir,

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm not sure if this is intentional or not but I've passed the feedback along, and I'll let you know if I hear anything. There is still "please sign in to view this item" in the message but I agree that it isn't particularly easy to spot.

Thanks again,

Thanks Oliver.

The former title was much more clear - "Please sign in..."
Now the text is in fact hidden and the call to action is to "Browse the store" and not to sign in - so users will never understand that they need to sign in to view it, since it appears as non-existing on the store.

Appreciate any help here.

Thank you

Hi Amir,

Just a quick update, we haven't made any changes yet but are considering if we can tweak the text to make this clearer.

Thanks,
