Install adblock plus and the element hiding helper. You can remove massive chunks of useless interface and it really cleans things up.
Edit: whoops that wasn't the question you asked. For sorting that out, I suggest blocking all the sharing pages that your contacts use.
flickr places an invisible layer on top of their images so that you can't download them by right clicking on them. There's a Firefox extension called Element Hiding Helper (which is an extension of Adblock Plus), which lets you do that, hide elements. You can use this extension to hide that invisible layer so that you can right click on the actual image.
Link for the lazy plus a Pop Up Addon and Hide text ads.
Adblock Plus AND Element Hiding Helper. EHH uses some awesome, simple keys to zoom into and select specific elements and then apply specific attribute filters as well as site scope (all sites or the domain, etc).
It enhances Adblock 100fold, especially with all the proprietary shit websites pepper their pages with.
I'm eager to switch from Adblock Plus, but none of them have anything as good as Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus. It allows you to interactively select DIVs and narrow/widen your selection. I now find it essential to effectively blocking crap on websites.

Have you tried that? It lets you easily choose what to block.
After installing just press adblock icon and choose select element to hide and presto.
These are the elements that you need to hide:
runescape.com###menu
runescape.com###menubox
I use Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus to block YouTube comments as a whole (along with tons of other things on many other sites). I highly recommend it.
Seriously, it turns AdBlock into a beast of an extension. Simply find any given element on a web page of your choosing that you don't like, and you can permanently remove whatever you don't like around. I've seen many posts in the past showing things that could be cleaned up on Battlelog, so this should be very useful!

Only takes a few minutes to get your handle on it and how to tweak around with it. Thought some of you would like it!
Edit: I don't know why I went through the effort to block out my username in the picture when I have it proudly displayed in my flair. Must be habit!
With AdBlock Plus' Element Hiding Helper, you can click "Select an element to hide", then highlight the tag and add it to your filter list. Only hitch is that you'll need to do this as you come across them, at least until somebody puts together a complete list of all possible tags that can appear, or creates a list of filters for this purpose (or a much simpler snippet of Javascript code to hide all elements of that type, see below).
Something that I'd REALLY like to have is an extension to make uBlock/NanoBlock advanced filter easy for casual users.
With uBlock/NanoBlock ad-blocker there is lot of advanced filters called "Procedural cosmetic filters" but they are not user friendly to use. So an extension with point and click to build easily such filter would be welcome.
On Firefox there is "Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus" that is a good example of extension that make it easy to make powerful filters for casual users.
uBlock/NanoBlock have more powerful filters with ""Procedural cosmetic filters" but you can't use them easily.... so an extension in the same style like "Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus" that would take advantage of the "Procedural cosmetic filters" would be welcome to bring the power of those filters to the casual users.

If you're using Firefox, you can use the "YouTube Plus" add-on, which allows you to do this. The only caveat is that it doesn't work with the updated YouTube interface. Whenever you restart FF, there's an option to "revert" back to the "old" interface, and you'll be good-to-go.
Before I found "YouTube Plus", I used "Adblock Plus" and the "Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus" to block all the annotations and end-screen shit people plaster all over their videos. It's a little more involved (and more difficult to undo), but I never see anything covering the videos now.
Yes you can I do it with ABP + https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/elemhidehelper/
Here's an example on StockTwits where I block some users http://i.imgur.com/klmzYOw.png
You can do the same on many site, Select a node with the username or number...
GL !
AdBlockPlus with Element Hiding Helper to find all the various bits.
Once you have installed EHH you press Ctrl-Shift-F3, select what you want to hide, use 'W' or 'N' accordingly, then press 'S' to confirm, and it will automatically add a rule for ABP.
I use Element Hiding Helper. It adds a menu option to the ABP menu, "Select an element to hide". It shows a red box over whatever content the mouse pointer is over, clicking will bring up the add filter rule box with the proper content filled in to block whatever element I clicked on.
I also disliked the bar, so I downloaded the Element Hiding Helper extension for Adblock Plus so that I would never have to see the bar again. This extension is also good for filtering out obnoxious "sponsored content" columns on news sites and blogs that aren't filtered out by the standard Adblock.
Interesting I checked with adblock both on and off and don't see them. Eitherway you can install "Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus". Then you can click on your adblock icon and "Select element to hide". Hover over the ad, text or otherwise until you see a box around it (it's using the DIV tags in the HTML). Click and you'll have an option to block it.
If using firefox use adblock plus the element hiding helper to do this permanently. I've been comment free for several years.
Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus sort's that out.
Get that by adding these to the filters:

Don't post links to rogue sites.
I see you have changes the link to the steam site now to hide your deeds.
Next time I see a GAMECODE link I will post adblock filters so that the site is accessible to everyone.
To those who do not want to wait for me, all they need is AdBlocks element hiding helper to block the adBlock blocker, and allow people to read the comment without advertisers tracking them.
Behind an ADBLOCKER PAYWALL.
Here is how you can deal with thease fuckers, without subscribing, or turning off your adblocker:
As soon as their page pops up telling you to disable your adblocker, use the Element hider, and select the entire "Lightbox" popup. then add it to your adblock list!
Workd with other fuckhead companies like Wall-street Journal, and any other sie that uses the lightbox popups that prevent you from reading the content.
you can also just add this rule to adblocker to disable this site : businessinsider.com##.tp-backdrop.tp-active

No longer something as relevant as it was before Firefox released a fix a month ago that improved the ABP performance drastically: http://www.ghacks.net/2015/06/30/firefox-41-ships-with-massive-memory-improvements-for-adblock-plus/
> It can block parts of websites that you don't like, block scripts
ABP can do this as well, there's even a complementary add-on (the beta version should be working better than the stable since it is pending an update) to facilitate the task of hidig elements: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/elemhidehelper/
What uBlock origin has better is the interface and ease of use for these features, that's one thing that cannot be argued about. And I really like clean and simple interfaces, so that's another positive aspect for me. However I haven't switched away from ABP on desktop yet because it has been working well for me and haven't felt the need to find more than what it offers since I installed it.
Seriously, it turns AdBlock into a beast of an extension. Simply find any given element on a web page of your choosing that you don't like, and you can permanently remove whatever you don't like around. Very useful on Battlelog.

If Ghostery doesn't do the trick, use:
<strong>AdBlock+ Element Hiding Helper (Chrome)</strong>
<strong>Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus (FireFox)</strong>
Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus. You have to choose what you want to hide for each website. I was able to hide the ABC News title bar in your example. It requires Adblock Plus but it looks like you have it already.
That's just a CSS element. Element hiding helper is great for removing shit like this. Note that this works with forks of ABP such as adblock edge as well.
Just use Element Hiding Helper. It works in addition to AdBlock+ and simply helps you in defining the filter rules for annoying website elements.
If the Portland Ents thing bugs you, use AdBlock + Element Hiding Helper and you never have to worry about it again.
Unless you're just irritated at the idea of Portland weed culture having such a prominent position in the general online Portland community that it necessitates a dedicated link top and center on the page.
Adblock Plus and its extension, the Element Hiding Helper, have transformed my Facebook experience.
Odd, I'm still not seeing it. Hmm.
If you're using Adblock Plus + Element Hiding Helper in Firefox, just right click the element and there should be an option to block it... Something along those lines. I used to use ABP+EHH and I think they had context items.
If you're in chrome, just click the ABP menu in the upper right and click "Block an ad on this page", then just follow the prompts.
