All Stack Exchange sites have a giant footer:

I don't like to have all of that space being taken up on my screen, so I built this user-style:

#footer-sites {
    display: none !important;
}

#footer #copyright, #footer #svnrev {
    display: inline-block !important;
}

#footer #svnrev::before {
    content: "//";
    margin: 0.25em;
}

^{try installing Stylish and adding this}

This shrinks the footer:

The sites are available from the Stack Exchange dropdown at the top-left, and the extra line for the revision was bothering me, so I added it to the same line.

Here is a userscript if you don’t want to use Stylish:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         TopBar-Blur
// @namespace    https://stackapps.com/questions/7091/34727
// @version      0.1
// @description  shrinks the SE footer
// @author       J F
// @license MIT
// @grant        none
// @match        *://*/*
// ==/UserScript==
var style = document.createElement('style')
style.type = 'text/css'
style.innerHTML = '#footer-sites{display:none!important}#footer #copyright,#footer #svnrev{display:inline-block!important}#footer #svnrev::before{content:"//";margin:.25em}'
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(style)
