I would like to know if there is any way to hide the link bar displayed in the bottom left (or right depending on the position of the link) of the browser. It is possible?

This cannot be done only using pure HTML, but it can be done using Javascript as follows:

<span id="anchorID" >Ir para a página</span>

$("#anchorID").click(function() {
    window.open(
    'http://www.google.com',
    '_blank' // <- Isto faz o link ser aberto numa nova janela.
    );
});

#anchorID{cursor:pointer;}

This link bar exists as a security feature and has been invented to mitigate problems arising from phishing. If it could be hidden or disabled, then all websites that promote phishing would deactivate it, and as a result such an appeal would lose the sense of existence. For this reason, this bar has been designed so that it cannot be removed or deactivated, so there is no way to hide it.
