A box keeps following me around the site. Clicking leads to Electile Dysfunction. [View all]

A couple of days ago, I watched a video from Represent.Us on Electile Dysfunction. Very clever. I noticed a rectangular box outline appear there. Clicking within it led to the Represent Us website.

But the box is now on every story and page I visit, and it's very difficult to click anything that doesn't lead me back to the Represent Us website. How do I get rid of it permanently?

BTW, I'm on a MacBook Pro running OSX 13.2.1 using Safari as a web browser.
