The just install it thing does work, If you hover on the X on the top right, you'll find an arrow to the left, click it and click "Always hide the toolbar", it will be gone for atleast until you can clear your cookies, also if you're logged in you can disable it in My Profile > Settings > Viewing Preferences > and on the "Show DiggBar?" menu, select "Never show DiggBar for external links" and click saved changes. You can also install framekiller on your website, set up a specific bar for DiggBar users or use one of the many tools, plugins, or scripts designed to kill the DiggBar, see you can disable it if you don't like it, and 3. I just don't get it about the revenue thing. Theoritically if it's in an iframe then it should load the webpage like a web browser would and you still would get credit. I may see how this might be a problem though seeing as how they keep you in the Digg domain but your argument applies to sites that uses iframes such as <a href="http://About.com" rel="nofollow">About.com</a>, <a href="http://Ask.com" rel="nofollow">Ask.com</a>, Facebook, StumbleUpon, etc. So it doesn't make sense to me at the moment. Also, how is Digg serving "my" content and displaying "their" ads? I've used the DiggBar for a while and I have not seen a single Digg advertisement at all. Explain that to me?<br><br>Also I disagree with what you're saying about my attitude lacking. I'm not doing this because I have a blog and I don't care about it because it doesn't show ads or any content that isn't top notch, I'm doing it because I want to voice my opinions that the DiggBar is okay and because I was slightly pissed that people knew it was coming and they didn't voice their opinions fully on how good or bad it will be.
