The 'Powered by Squarespace' text lives inside a footer block with a specific class. You can hide it with a single CSS rule. On business plans and above, you can also remove it in Settings > General > Site Availability.
If you're on a personal plan, CSS is your only option. The selector targets the specific footer branding element without affecting other footer content.
