Short answer is no, the tip/ad popups continue even with the community features option suggest by Bob unchecked.

I know this because I have had them disabled for ages, from the first arrival of the Like thumbs, etc. on the interface.

These popups are piggybacked onto the auto update notifications, disable that popup and you won't get these either. Unfortunately there is another bug and that is the duration of the various popups, reducing the duration doesn't appear to work, they stay there for ages.

Well 20 seconds is not long but it is a pain in the Avast.
