disable social networking component preference

I would really like it if Chow would add a feature to disable all the new "social networking" buttons and that awful sidebar. I get the urge to try and be more hip, but some of us don't want to twitter, like, etc.

It should be trivial to make this a configurable option.

    Read through this topic and you should be able to disable it yourself. I did.

      Yeah - I don't use adblock or similar extensions, though. Does this remove "CONNECT WITH CHOW", or just the bar on the left?

        It removed all the new "floating" social networking links that appeared at the left.

      It should be just as easy to ignore the side bar.

        It's not just as easy for me, because implementing such a feature is something someone else would have to do, whereas ignoring the side bar is something I have to do.
