How can I remove the 'follow bar'?

    I want to remove the thing in bottom-right that allows you to follow the blog I’m reading and some other options.

    It’s pretty much entirely useless after I said that yes, I want to follow that blog.

    On the other hand, it’s pretty much entirely broken on mobile, at least for me. Because the way scrolling works there, half of the time when I scroll down I actually end up correcting a bit or just jittering and scrolling up in the end as far as the script is concerned, so that bar pops up. And the other half of the time it disappears. It’s incredibly distracting, besides taking valuable screen space, and also redirecting me somewhere if I accidentally touch it.

    It was not a problem until last week when wordpress.com apparently enabled it for anonymous visitors as well. Of course they would never roll it back, but can we at least get an option to remove it from the sites we follow when we are logged in?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    There is currently not a built-in option or setting to remove the action bar, however you may use the CSS editor that is a part of the Premium or Business plans to modify things like that when there is not a built in option to do so.

    If you have a paid plan, you can go to https://wordpress.com/customize/ then selecting your site and clicking CSS in the left menu and adding the following CSS there:

    #actionbar {
	visibility: hidden;
}
