One of the banes of my existence! There's no place for these stupid effing banners when browsers have inertia scrolling and infinite-scrolling sites have fixed headers (or footers) visible all the time. Maybe I wouldn't be so frustrated if the tolerance for what makes a header reappear wasn't ~3px, which is what I often perceive it to be. It totally misunderstands human behavior, which isn't to read an article word by word all the way through like a robot but to reread things to better comprehend them and jump around an article to make sense of connected ideas.

- panarky 4y agoYou don't need uBo to block JavaScript, you can do that right in the browser. But often blocking JS means parts of the article don't display or the site breaks in other ways. Washington Post for example only shows blurry placeholder photos with JS off. The kill-sticky or the element zapper in uBo can sometimes do what blocking JS cannot.
