Is There a Way to Hide the MCR Widget on the Forum Index?

I ask because I notice it's been causing a lot of problems with my browser (Google Chrome) in causing certain scripts to run slower than they need to, or other times because the album art isn't always displayed, sometimes I'll be attempting to click on a new unread thread and the song will change at the exact same split second and I'll end up clicking something else because the link I was about to click on will be pushed down from the album art changing or showing up.
