Why oh Why did DZone add this new browser bar. When digg did this there were so many articles on DZone itself saying how much it was hated. I guess the DZone people didn't read any of those posts. What about that Varung guy who would only posts links via linkive. UGHHHH!
Here is what is irritating. Visit a site off of DZone. Read the article and find something that is linked from that site that you find interesting. Go to that site, think to yourself "Hmmm, guess I need to get rid of the DZone bar". Click the 'X' and blammo you are back at the site you originally visited. And of course if you hit back you are back on the DZone bar'ed site.
Here is one good thing I think. When I am on DZone, I usually open a bunch of links at once (I love "Open In New Tab") and then I read the articles later. Bad thing is I hardly ever go back and rank the article on DZone so the bar helps, but I don't think its worth it.
Reward posts you find interesting by clicking an ad.

Just got informed of a way to disable the bar. If you go to settings there is a checkbox for it. Thanks Matt.
From your site, I clicked "Next Blog".
The DZone bar was gone.
It doesn't stick around at all, and based on that I actually like it. It reminds me to Like/Dislike articles, makes it easier, plus for blogs like mine that use a site like wordpress.com that disables javascript it makes it a bit easier to gain a little support and notice.
