How can I get rid of this “feature”? When it was in beta, I turned it on, and then turned off within a minute. It may be useful for beginners, but not for power users like me. It takes up half of the screen by showing options and checkboxes I will hardly ever use. It loads for seconds after the full page load (meaning I will click on a completely different link if I’m unlucky enough), because it uses JavaScript for a purpose for which static HTML-based version could be a solution. I will simply not use its fancy tools, because typing the appropriate prefix is much faster, and I don’t want to waste my resources for it.
