Remove status bar

Reported by em...@orbyt.me, Jan 1 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.84 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open chrome
2. Either hover over a link or visit a site
3. Note the appearance of a status bar in the bottom left corner.

What is the expected behavior?
For years there have been requests to be able to turn off the status bar:

https://superuser.com/questions/239202/turn-off-the-link-hover-statusbar-in-google-chrome

https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/2cxyeq/how_do_i_turn_off_the_status_bar_the_little_bar/

https://productforums.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!category-topic/chrome/discuss-chrome/FtD7qjochgw

Enabling a flag/option to disable this status bar should be trivial, and is something that has been requested by users for a very long time. I think it's time this option is made available.

What went wrong?
See expected behavior.

Did this work before? N/A

+CC shrike@ - would you know the correct PM to make the call on this? Thanks!
Safari has this option in the Menu Bar under the section: View > Hide/Show Status Bar.

In the very near future there will/should be a new Desktop PM.
