When searching in Help online for the answer to "Eliminate Social media icons", I get extraneous answers to every problem except the one I want. If possible, I want to eliminate the social media share icons stacked on the left side of the screen. They don't come up on every single website, but when they do, they always cover copy I'm trying to read. I've never used them. Does anyone know how to eliminate having them ever come up?
