Agreed. I switched back from Chrome to Firefox partly because Firefox had a constant reminder of a thing I don't use, Pocket, in the address bar. I don't have anything extra in Chrome that permanently shows up, just a temporary window that pops up asking me if I want to sync when I save passwords, which I'm used to dismissing.
You can remove Pocket from the address bar. All you do is right click it and the only option shows up as "Remove from address bar", so you don't have to stare at the reminder if you don't want to!
