[ARCHIVED] Is it possible to disable the informational banner messages?

Ever since I attended a single class at a certain campus, they've been pretty liberal with their use of the informational messages that appear at the top of Canvas in the web browser version. While they can be dismissed, it's incredibly annoying to have so much of the page taken up by information I'm not interested in every single time I need to check Canvas. However, I couldn't seem to find a way to disable these in the options anywhere, but it feels like there must be a way. I haven't been interested in seeing these from the day I enrolled here, and I'm certainly no more interested after seeing them nearly every day for half a year.

To be clear, these are the messages I'm referring to:

Hi Ryan,

You can manually dismiss the announcements after you have seen them and they will not return.  If your school has put an "end date" on the announcement, it will also automatically disappear at that time.

However, there is no option available in Canvas to prevent announcements from being displayed by default.
