  The black article text fades into white in this copy. Intentional defence or just crappy CSS?

  For anyone else needing to view via this link (eg: those who block cookies by default) the article implemented a gradient overlay that progressively fades to white, obscuring the latter half of the article. Can disable the linear-gradient via web inspection though.

    Reader mode works well enough.

      In fact, reader mode works even better -thanks for the tip!

    Is there a quick way to determine which element to modify?
    • Springtime 4y ago
      Scroll down to where the gradient has already overlapped the text, then right-click above the text and use inspect element and it should be the correct element (was for me). Then uncheck the background-image property to disable the gradient.

        If you've selected the element, you can also simply press delete to delete it :)
