There are plenty of Chrome extensions that allow you to remove elements from the page, but they all seem to be temporary. This one remembers whats been removed, and removes it whenever the page is loaded again.
Once installed, press the toolbar button to start removing elements. Press the button again to stop. The options page will then be displayed showing what you've removed. Just press Close if you don't want to make any tweaks.
Wildcards can be used to make it work on multiple pages from the same site (for example) and an optional delay can be set in case the element you want to remove doesn't get displayed right away.

Notes:
Unfortunately, some websites generate content dynamically in a way that this extension can't cope with. Right click the toolbar icon to visit the options page. Then try adding a delay or reducing the scope (with the left arrow button) if the element doesn't get removed when the page is refreshed after saving your changes.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
