hideBeta is a User Script designed to remove the 'Beta' link that appears besides the 'Preferences' link in the user menu (the menu alongside the Log out button) Many users don't want that extra Beta Link crowding their personal menu so this script was written. The hideBeta is a very functionally useful feature for users who have the habit of clicking the other buttons in the toolbar. The Beta Link is moreover irrelevant as it is a part of the Preferences and not something separate. So it is actually useless to let it display out there.

Support

This script is compatible will all leading browsers (including Internet Explorer) and all Wikipedia Skins i.e Vector (default Skin), Monobook, Modern and Cologne Blue.
