How to stop skype putting links to call on web pages?

IE: If there is a "Skype" Icon visible in the IE7 toolbar (you might need to click ">>" at the right end of the toolbar to see it), click on the down-arrow at the right side of the Icon and select "Remove Skype add-on for IE"

*If you don't see a "Skype" Icon in the IE7 toolbar, go to Tools > Manage Add-ons > Enable or Disable Add-ons. Select the "Skype Browser Extension" and the "Skype Browser Helper Object", and for each of them choose "Disable". Note, this will only disable the Add-ons, it does not actually remove them.

Firefox: If there is a "Skype" Icon visible in the Firefox toolbar, click on the down-arrow at the right side of the Icon and select "Remove Skype extension for Firefox"

*If you don't see a "Skype" Icon in the Firefox toolbar, go to Tools > Add-ons, select the "Skype Extension for Firefox", and click Uninstall. Then close the Add-ons window, close Firefox, and restart it.

For BOTH Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox:
In Internet Explorer, Go to Tools > Manage Add-ons > Enable or Disable Add-ons. From the drop-down list at the top of the window, select "Add-ons that run without requiring permission". Then select the Add-on with Publisher "Skype Technologies SA", and click "Disable". Unfortunately it is not possible to remove this add-on, the best you can do is disable it.
