I just type "No thank you, I have no questions yet!" in those boxes. Then shortly after you will something like "<Support person Foo has entered the chat.> <Support person Foo has left the chat.>".

If everyone would do this then eventually the company would be forced to remove the initial chat bubble since their support is wasting 90% of their time looking at bullshit "No thank you!" answers.
