I wish to remove "Show sidebar" and "Show Top Sites" from the Favorites Bar in Safari 7.0. How may I do so?

lew -- I totally agree with you. As far as I can tell, there is no way to do that, and there definitely should be!

I agree. Not only do I not want/need it there taking up room, but sometimes I want others to use my laptop but not to be seeing where I've been on the Net (no, I'm not ashamed of anything, just think it should be private).

I aggree It's rather annoying that you can't remove these features when like me you never use them, however by far the most annoying part of this is that when you go into 'Customize Toolbar' you can actually add yet a second 'Show Top Sites' feature to the toolbar 😀 !! Even those people who actually want to use this feature don't require two of them. For crying-out-loud come on Apple, this has to be a joke right?!?

Me, too.

Bah Humbug!

+1Fix this Apple, it is very annoying. It's natural to have the two most frequent items (email and cal) in that location, or at least give us the choice.

Its not perfect, but its a whole lot better then nothing...there's a product called Glims that I've used with great success. Hope this helps.
