I definitely recommend people do that--turn off "show kana" setting.
You will even be able to answer quicker eventually without the furigana. Furigana gives your eyes too much unnecessary extra stuff to look at and think about.
I noticed quickly how much better I was learning after turning "show kana" off. It was a struggle at first, but now it's easier than if the furigana is left turned on cluttering up the answers. :D
