Hate Diggbar? Kill it with a userscript


There have been more than a few gripes about Digg's new iFrame toolbar. They're stealing content. It interferes with SEO. They're selling ads on other people's content.

If you're a Digg member, you can also turn off the bar when opening links by changing a setting on your viewing preferences (pictured above).
