A Quick Guide to removing/hiding curators
This is basically a little guide for those seeking a way to remove curators from the main store page, and game pages:

OP. There is a way':

1. First go to the steam directory(which is whereever you installed steam. To find it fast, right-click on the steam Shortcut icon. and click the 'Find Target' Button

2. Next step select the folders marked 'resources' and 'graphics'. RIght click on either of them and select 'copy'. or just hit ctrl+c You could do this step at any time but you'll find it much easier to do it now.

3. Now go into the skins folder

4. Create a new folder. Name it what ever you want.

5. Open that newly created folder.

6. Paste in the directories you copied in step 2. You can either right click in the empty file list and select paste, or just ctrl+v

You have now created a STeam custom skin that is a mirror of the default steam skin.
This can be selected from the steam client interface by boing to View-->Settings-->Interface and clicking on the dropdown box next to skin. You'll see 'default skin' and (assuming you have no other skins installed) <whatever you named that folder you created step 4. FOr the purpose of simplicity lets assume you named it CustomSkin.

7. Open the CustomSkin Folder (you should already be bthere but just in case)

8. Open the resources folder

9. Open the file called 'webkit.css' in a text editor like notepad. Simply right click on the file and select edit and then select notepad as your application.

10. Now go the last line and create a new line by hitting enter. Makesure your on a blank line.

11. COpy the following:

/* This removes various parts of the Steam pages such as the curators, the discover your queue, the recently updated, the new on Steam, the recommendations on the right and the the endless scrolling list from the bottom */
.steam_curators_ctn, .steam_curators_block{
display: none !important;}

12. Paste it onto the blank line you made in the webkit.css file.

13. Save and close the webkit.css file.

14. There. Now in the steam client: View-->Settings-->Interface

15. In the dropdown box where it askes you to select your skin CHange it to 'CustomSKin'. And restart Steam

16. And if you did all that right you will have removed the curator section from the store's front page and the store page of each game.

There are also custom steam skins that do this if you prefer to take the easy route.

And there you go. I can personally attest to this working. Haven't seen a curator in over a month.

UPdate:

Smalle not if you also want to block the streaming content:

create anothe new line and copy this into it:

#live_streams_ctn, .live_streams_ctn{
display:none important;}
}

UPDATE:
I made a proper Steam Guide for this that contains updated information and (best of all) a link to an easy download of a custom skin with this fix applied.

if you can sus out what the css element name for the discovery queue is, the same trick will work. Though i'd leave it since you may forget about it by the time the next sale rolls around.

Oh I've been annoyed by it since the day they implemented it. I only just recently discovered how to do this in another thread tha popped up on the matter..

It worked so I decided to share the whole thing.

Thank you! I finally don't have to see that Commander Shepard garbage anymore. This needs to be stickied.

I dunno if there's a mod that'd be nice enough to sticky this.

No problem. It's been bugging me suince the day they implemen

Can't take all the credit. The information in another thread gave me the info. I just compiled it into a step by step guide.

This is how it works in PC-Space. When you can't find a solution... make a solution.

@OP

Thanks a lot, worked like a charm. I wanted to remove the curators page because of this:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1275623449

Edit: Seems like I am not the only one since at least 2-3 other people from this thread mentioned Commander ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Well ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, it actually worked!!! At last I can look through games without seeing that Commander ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, among all the other useless Curator prats, all over the place. Many thanks Start_Running!!!

FYI, this also removed the horizontal and vertical scrollbars on the Store Page for me. If other people have this issue, I would recommend that instead of following Step 10, you should paste the necessary paragraph at the VERY END of the Webkit.css file. There are a couple of blank lines right at the bottom, I pasted it on the very last blank line. This has removed the Curators nonsense for me, while still keeping the scrollbars available.
