Question
Can I remove the message "Our embeddable contains third-party, open source software and/or libraries" from the console?
Answer
No, it's not possible not possible to exclude this message from the console entirely, but the notice won't appear if you filter your console to warnings, or otherwise exclude "info" items.

Not cool...
I also find this annoying that this noise is added to the console.
Zendesk, what is your logic for leaving this annoying info?
Hi Robert -
We haven't seen a significant number of customers requesting that this be removed, therefore it's not something that has been escalated internally to consider or prioritize.
The effort needed to submit a ticket is too high, but it does not mean that it is not really annoying (and unprofessional for a SaaS like mine) to have this warning.
Removing this warning is a quickwin for everyone.
Please remove the console nonsense. The console is a place for debugging by developers. It's not a place for legal messages from Zendesk.
This shouldn't be forced upon us. Please give us a way to turn this message off.
Hi all, we're required by law to provide attribution for the open source we're using in the Web Widget. That said, we've taken this feedback on board and plan to investigate an alternative solution. No ETA at this stage but I'll keep you posted.
I suspect you're putting the attribution in the wrong place. I've never seen the JS console used for such purpose.
console.log is a terrible place to put a disclaimer :(
Please, let me remove this annoying message away.
Please remove ASAP. Not sure what the logic is for having it there in the first place. I like keeping a clean console on our site, this is triggering my OCD and causing a mental breakdown. Thanks!
Please remove this console logging, it is not the place for a legal disclaimer. End users do not check the logs, only developers do. This is causing unnecessary clutter for us.
Hi all, thanks again for this feedback. We’ve now removed this log message from the console. As you've pointed out this wasn't the most appropriate place for it. We’ve moved this reference to a comment string within the header of the Web Widget code.
