How to get rid of the DiggBar, permanently

I hate the DiggBar. I know I’m not alone.

Are you a publisher who would like to prevent the DiggBar from “framing” your sites? Are you a Digg user who would like to permanently get rid of the DiggBar and instead go directly to the web sites linked from Digg? I made a screencast to set you on the right path.

Here is the standard “frame busting” technique I talk about in the video:

<script type="text/javascript">
if(top.location != location) {
	top.location.href = document.location.href;
}
</script>

And here is the link to John Gruber’s “special message” PHP code, and go here to change your DiggBar setting in Digg.

Update: Digg is updating how the DiggBar works. Their solution resolves all of my complaints. Good job, guys.
