'Is there a way to hide the native Safari and Firefox datepicker

There doesn't seem to be any way to hide the native datepicker from Safari and Firefox. Any ideas? Or should I just scrap the <input type="date" /> and use a normal <input type="text" /> for my datepicker for Safari and Firefox? I only saw ways to style the input as is shown here Are there any style options for the HTML5 Date picker?

I've tried inspecting and searching for the popup in the DOM, but it doesn't seem to be there.

Help would be greatly appreciated
