I want to uninstall the Moz SEO toolbar. How do I do this?
-
I installed the Moz toolbar and I don't understand it and it covers up important parts of websites and makes them inaccessible. I want to get it off my computer. I installed it in chrome. How do I get it off?

Hi Bonnie, Linda and Justin are absolutely right. You can follow their instructions to uninstall the toolbar permanently.
If, however, you'd like to be able to temporarily disable it, you can toggle it on and off using a keyboard shortcut: Cmd + Option + Control + M on OSX, Shift + Ctrl + Alt + M on Windows. You can also toggle it on and off by clicking on it's bookmark icon.
For a good overview of what you can do with the Moz Toolbar, as well as how to configure it to meet your needs, check out the video at http://moz.com/help/guides/research-tools/mozbar. Best of luck!

I actually ended up installing it on my home computer as well as my work computer--I find that I have come to rely on it as a quick-and-dirty gauge of the quality of the website I am visiting...

LindaLV is right. Here are some screenshots to help you out.
1. Expand the hamburger menu. Then navigate to Tools > Extensions (#1 attachment)
2. Either disable or delete the Moz toolbar. (#2 attachment)
That said, I recommend leaving it installed. I don't use it terribly often, but then there are those times that it comes in really helpful. So for most of my browsing, I leave it disabled. If you find it's covering up content while you're browsing, you can just click the toolbar icon to disable it and make it inactive. That's how I browse most of the time. (#3 attachment)

In your chrome browser, there is a little "hamburger menu" on the top right (three horizontal lines, stacked).
Click that, go to tools > extensions and you should be able to delete it there.
ps- What do you find that it covers up?

Unsolved New Moz Bar not working in my domain

Does data-bind hurt SEO?
sleepcountry.ca uses Oracle Commerce Cloud which uses Knockout data-binds syntax to attach events to DOM elements like this (A <a id="s0207useresourcesinwidgets01"></a>Knockout custom binding named ‘widgetLocaleText’ - I am not familiar this technology stack): Same applies to H1 tag - you can't find H1 tag in Source. In short, the text binding causes the associated DOM element to display the text value of your parameter. Data binding is applied to all DOM elements on pages of sleepcountry.ca even that this technique doesn't pass W3C markup validation: Error: Element title must not be empty. MOZ reports that all H1 Tags are missing on ALL PAGES of the site. Same is reported by Semrush and other respected services. However, it seems like Google automatically adds tagging to all data-bind(ed) elements including Title! site:sleepcountry.ca I'm no expert in Oracle Commerce Cloud or Knockout, but I'm confused.

QUESTION: Does this data-bind hurt organic search and if it does, why Google still sees all TITLES while Moz and other services report it as a major problem - titles are missing. ? Thank you so much in advance! (I'm not an SEO expert but this problem might be related to my project)0 -

Has using Moz got me banned from Google search?
Dear fellow Mozzers, For the last couple of weeks when ever I do a google search I have to enter a captcha code. Now I hardly use google anymore which is annoying ! Then I went onto support.google.com and saw this: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/86640?hl=en&ref_topic=3378866 "Automated traffic includes: Sending searches from a robot, computer program, automated service, or search scraper Using software that sends searches to Google to see how a website or webpage ranks on Google" Is Moz alone doing this? Thanks in advance for your response. Ash
