Please note: Unrelated to article content. https://i.imgur.com/htxpRh7.jpg https://i.imgur.com/htxpRh7.jpg Medium's viewport is now about an inch tall on my phone, unless I carefully click 3 different 1sqmm X's. That's... Gross.

Even on my laptop, I'm no longer able to browse without a bookmarklet handy to remove sticky position elements. Vertical space is at enough of a premium just from the prevalence of widescreen aspect ratios; we don't need so many inch-tall menu bars and overlays getting in the way of the real content.

Yeah. I have the sticky header bookmarklet saved first in my bookmarks so I can hit it whenever I browse Medium on mobile.

  I can read every word in that screenshot! The only words I can't read are the words not visible in the screenshot.

I set this flag in Chrome so I always get the "Show Simplified View" prompt. It can sometimes get in the way, but it's generally nice to have. Wish it was simply a menu option. chrome://flags/#reader-mode-heuristics

Medium annoys me so hard I just give up on reading content and close the page.

  I do the same. I feel this was not always the case but now the banners are so annoying I have just given up on medium-hosted content.

Works beautifully without JS.

I've switched all of my mobile browsing to Firefox with ublock origin. I've got the "annoyance" filters enabled. It's a game changer.

Medium seems to be a poor webhost from my POV.
