While there is a large group of people that are enjoying the perks of Digg’s new DiggBar, there’s also an overwhelmingly vocal majority that are not fans of the new URL shortening, webpage-framing addition to the popular social bookmarking site.

Over the course of next week, Digg will be turning off the bar for all of the site’s unregistered users, who will be sent directly to the website they desire, sans the shortened link. And, for those that are registered, there will be a new option that allows users to turn the bar on and off.

Though, as loud as people are about their DiggBar hate, there’s no denying numbers. In fact, according to Digg’s Vice President of Engineering, John Quinn, “roughly 45 percent of all Digging activity is now happening on the DiggBar.” So, for all intents and purposes, it would seem like the bar is doing a pretty swell job at allowing users to see just what they’re digging before they make the decision to click.
