How can I disable auto-save notification (document status at the top of the screen) ? It always distracts me during typing even irritated by flickering . If you start to pay attention to that, the typing almost impossible. It is such a bad usability design IMHO

The notification is shown in an HTML element with class docs-save-indicator-container. This opens up several possibilities to disable/hide this element:

  1. Use an ad-blocker like uBlock and add a rule to block this particular element:

    ##.docs-save-indicator-container
    
  2. You can use a custom stylesheet manager like Stylus and add a rule like this:

    .docs-save-indicator-container {
      display: none;
    }
