Is there any way to have this removed, or like an option to disable this feature from my end?

John,
The Summer '16 release notes describe the process to enable the feature -- I believe you can follow these steps to turn it off. This will disable the feature for all users of that console as there is not, at present, a user specific setting that allows the feature to be turned on or off.
Here is a link to the release notes: https://releasenotes.docs.salesforce.com/en-us/summer16/release-notes/rn_console_responsive_list_hover.htm
And a link to an idea asking for a user-controlled option for this feature: https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=0873A000000lE52QAE
