Yep, It's not just Clippy, it's anything that I would want to dismiss and then it doesn't persist.

https://coworker.com has this annoying banner at the moment advertising their global pass.

Nice X to close. I refresh page and it's back. If I clear my cookies or my adblock causes a javascript error, then fair enough. Otherwise, persist my decisions please.

For that website, get a Chrome plugin called User Javascript and CSS and set it up to inject:

    #hello_banner { display:none !important; }
    .grecaptcha-badge { display: none !important; }

I know it's a lot of work to inspect the DOM and do this for every site but I just hate banners and popups that much, and very often multiple websites reuse the same banner code so my efforts start paying off after dealing with a few dozen.
