This has been my experience too. I surf in landscape mode on an iPhone 5, and far too often there's a fat social-sharing-bar at the bottom, and a fancy site-header-bar at the top, leaving about 1cm of readable and scrollable content. Wtf are they smoking?
A tip: Hold down your finger on the reload circle-arrow to load the desktop version of the page.
- jakobegger 11y agoThanks for that tip!
- dredmorbius 11y agoReader mode FTFW. Fuck fixed headers / footers. Fuck social. And fuck fixed social header/footer bars specifically.
- evook 11y agoBest answer so far. Print mode is also not bad.
- dredmorbius 11y agoPrint mode (offered by websites) so often 1) launches the actual browser print dialog and 2) closes the fucking page when the dialog's closed that I've largely abandoned use of it. I'll sooner copy/paste text into a vim buffer.
- jedrek 11y agoI hate fixed bars on desktop as well - I still scroll with my keyboard and it chops content off willy nilly.
- dredmorbius 11y agoYep. I've been creating my own local stylesheets under Stylish, including a default which pretty effectively nukes social elements and fixed headers, with some collateral damage I _may_ fix selectively on specific sites. If you're naming your primary elements, or ascribing them values of "share" or "social" (wildcard search), they're likely to get nuked.
