In today’s tutorial, we will see how we can remove/disable add to compare functionality from all places in Magento 2.
There is no configuration setting to remove the “Product Compare” feature in Magento2.
But we can use the remove=”true” attribute in our theme’s custom layout file and remove/disable add to compare related reference blocks.
we can use the default.xml file to remove these links from all the pages in our theme.
for example,
app/design/frontend/vendor/theme/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceBlock name="catalog.compare.link" remove="true"/>
<referenceBlock name="category.product.addto.compare" remove="true"/>
<referenceBlock name="catalog.compare.sidebar" remove="true"/>
<referenceBlock name="view.addto.compare" remove="true" />
<referenceBlock name="related.product.addto.compare" remove="true" />
<referenceBlock name="upsell.product.addto.compare" remove="true" />
<referenceBlock name="crosssell.product.addto.compare" remove="true" />
<referenceBlock name="catalogsearch.product.addto.compare" remove="true"/>
</body>

vendor/magento/module-reports/view/frontend/templates/widget/viewed/content/viewed_grid.phtml:27: $showCompare = true;
vendor/magento/module-reports/view/frontend/templates/widget/viewed/content/viewed_list.phtml:28: $showCompare = true;
