In AdGuard this rule will remove that section:

steamgifts.com##div.page__outer-wrap:nth-child(7) > div.page__inner-wrap > div.widget-container > div:last-child > div.widget-container.widget-container--margin-top:nth-child(5) > div

Upd: Looks like each bar have own placement location. So this filter will not work. Like LeonFowl said - you can use Ublock or AdGuade to block such elements.

get Ublock Origin (very nice ad blocker)

You can just click it's shortcut icon and select Element Picker mode, to remove anything unwanted with mouseclicks.

Sadly it can't remove it comptetely since it tries to remove forum messages together with fanatical strings, any solution for this?

When doing the picker there should be a bar. Move it to the left one and it just gets the sales without the discussions.

Just be careful with the picker, there is a sweet spot. I've removed it (4 empty lines remaining) and kept discussions.

Edit: MoonQueen3 had an even better solution. Those sliders finetuned it nicely 👍

I wouldn't recommend the above because when we're not displaying the sale banner, this code will then start removing the deals and discussions from the homepage.

Can you PLEASE make the banners optional!!
I just want them gone from the website, I don't care for them and they just clutter the page!

That isn't a good idea for the reason cg said - it will work for now, but when they stop showing the sale banner it may remove something unexpected (because the ordering will change.)

I suggest this instead:

www.steamgifts.com##div.widget-container--margin-top.widget-container:has(a[href="https://www.fanatical.com/en/on-sale"])

That will remove only widget containers that contain a link to Fanatical "on sale" page, which should avoid zapping discussions.

This sounds great, but how do I open the dashboard to add this?
I already used the element picker thing but I don't want that to give issues later so rather do it your way, but how do I change that element back and go for your solution?

Open the settings menu for Ublock Origin (from the plugin icon, then the gear button), scroll down and replace the one you added via the element picker with this.

When using the element picker, you can also modify the text it will add to reflect this (I think if you do it that way you don't have to include the website, it will add it automatically) but that won't work for undoing the one you added before.

Alternative:

www.steamgifts.com##.block_header_link:has-text(View Bundle):upward(.widget-container)
www.steamgifts.com##.block_header_link:has-text(View Sale):upward(.widget-container)

or

www.steamgifts.com##.block_header[href*="/redirect?url="]:upward(.widget-container)

Reference: :has-text, :upward

I'm just curious if the site admin gets money from fanatical for running that "promotion" here.
If that is some kind of cooperation between those two sites, I would love to see some giveaways created by fanatical here on this site.

i would assume so
in settings you can turn off and on auto Referral Links
Use Referral Links?
Yes
No
When the above option is enabled and you hover over a link to one of our affiliates, we will automatically update that link to include our referral code. This means if a user shares a link to one of the sites listed below, then you click that link and complete a purchase, our site will earn a commission. This helps to support our community. Currently, we have partnerships with the following sites, and if you allow us to do so, we will update their links to include our referral code: fanatical.com, gamersgate.com, gog.com, greenmangaming.com, humblebundle.com.

and now the poll is back, even though esgst blocked the previous ones just fine. the owner really can't stand people not looking at that shit.

I wonder how long before fanatical (well, fandom or whoever owns them) buys steamgifts, they're plastered all over the place already. the latest fantastic addition rotates some of their bundles on the front page, though it doesn't appear every single time, only most of the time.

So, there is a new banner now and I already blocked it 2 times now and the next time I start my laptop and this website, it's back.
Anyone has any idea how to make sure all these banners could just be removed all together like... forever since I am sick of these huge banners with sales I could care less about!

adblock/ublock worked for me, on the images, the header and the divider that remained after. might have to block more if they replace the current bundles though.

I did that, but it still shows up sometimes, had to block it multiple times now so was hoping someone knew a more perm way to block this and maybe also every banner that comes after this, wish cg just made it optional in the settings instead of bothering us with it without a choice. (same with the polls btw)

a permanent and future-proof method, also for the polls (everywhere, not just the front page, bundle posts are the worst), would be better for sure. the esgst add-on worked on front page polls for a while but it needs updating as well.

I don't mind the poll as much, but wish it would have a setting where you can minimize it since some polls can be fun, the sales banner on the other hand I find very bothersome and again if they would just make it minimizable or just optional I would be fine with it, but now it's way to big and in your face!

I wonder if cg gets profits from just viewing ADs or only from people who actually follow the link and buy something. I really hope it's the latter, because otherwise I would feel bad for blocking this banner. I actually wanted to leave it, but after some time it started to break page layout because image is too wide, and that was the moment when I blocked it. Since people share here their ublock rules I will also share mine:

www.steamgifts.com##div.widget-container:has(>div>a>div.block_header_text:has-text("/fanatical/i"))

:has-text("/fanatical/i")

if you meant this as regexp, then lose the double quotes

Hmm. You are right, that's my mistake, but somehow it still worked for me (in ublock Origin).

Thank you for this one, hope it will work for a long time, does this work for every banner with Fanatical in it or will the next just show again?

Any way to remove giant pesky Fanatical banners forever? uBlock Origin can't handle these jpegs for some reason with selecting tool

I don't see any banners on SG, so my uBlock filters should hide it.
I added those custom filters:

steamgifts.com##.sidebar__mpu
steamgifts.com##div:not([class]) > div[id^="div-gpt-ad-"]:upward(2)
steamgifts.com##.widget-container:has(.block_header:has-text(/(\s+|^)sale(\s+|$)/i)):not(:has(.sidebar))
steamgifts.com##.widget-container > div > a[href*="/redirect?url="]:upward(.widget-container)
