For those who don't know, this is entirely client side. If you want, you can delete the overlay (single div) from the dom and remove an 'overflow: hidden' inline style, and continue to scroll the page and look at pictures without logging in.

Interesting, thanks! Is there an easy way to do that on mobile?

  Not that I know. I really miss developer tools on mobile. Developer tools are practically required to be able to use the web these days.

  I use this bookmark: javascript:(function(){(function () {var i, elements = document.querySelectorAll('body *');for (i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {if (getComputedStyle(elements[i]).position === 'fixed') {elements[i].parentNode.removeChild(elements[i]);}}})();document.querySelector('body').style.setProperty('overflow','auto','important'); document.querySelector('html').style.setProperty('overflow','auto','important');})()

I do this already for so many sites these days. And it's fairly simple. I wouldn't mind an extension that automated this for me.

  I use ublock origin for this. Just use the dropper to pick the element.

    You can also block elements by text content [1], for those that did not know. I ran into a site that tried to counter uBlock by randomized class names, among other things, but was able to target it properly that way. 1. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax#html-filters https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax#...

  For news sites that do this, you can use textise.net to render a text-only version of the page which will have what you want (the article text).
