When there are a lot of connections and nets, these rats nest of nets can be a bit troublesome during layout. Does anybody know how to remove/hide the rats nests?

You can do this by going to your layer set properties (click the colored box at the bottom left of your screen):
On the right-hand side uncheck the box labeled "Show" next to "Default color for new nets":
This will hide all airwires at once.

\$\begingroup\$ I have to mention that it works but the rats nets will come back if going from 2d to 3 \$\endgroup\$– chrisCommented Jun 7, 2016 at 6:50

In Altium Designer 16.x, while viewing the PCB go to View > Connections > Hide All.
This will hide all of the ratnest nets. If you select a component that one component's nets will be shown as a convenience, but other than that I think this solves your problem. I find it useful to enable this option during initial placement of a crowded design.

Right click on a net, and choose Net Actions >> Hide Nets.
