- kyberias 15y agoNot that I want to defend it but could you elaborate what exactly is so awful about it that it distracted you from reading the article. I didn't event notice it myself.
- ned_roberts 15y agoI'm going to guess the same thing that made me hate it: it covers up the first few letters of about 10 lines in the middle of the window.
- BarkMore 15y agoI see a vertical bar floating over 15 lines of the body text. I found it annoying to scroll the page to read around the thing.
- robgough 15y agoHere's a screenshot with my browser open at the size I'm comfortably browsing the rest of the web with. When I went back to check I could in fact expand the page and push that off to the left, which is less annoying, but still not great. http://d.pr/5IyI http://d.pr/5IyI
- inafield 15y agoThe share bar is only an issue if your browser's viewport is less than 1262px wide. Windows-size responsive design would be nice.
- spicyj 15y agoMany people's screens are 1280px wide or smaller and it's unreasonable to assume that users will browse full-screen.
- recursive 15y agoI used the DOM inspector in my browser to delete. I barely noticed I was doing it. There are so many shitty layouts out there, I frequently tweak them to make them readable out of near instinct.
- robgough 15y agoTo my shame, this hadn't actually occurred to me. Duly done. Though I don't like that it came to that.
- yonran 15y agoYou can always remove it in the inspector. Perhaps this kind of nonsense merits a bookmarklet? I wonder whether this would fix many websites (I'm thinking AllRecipes?). Array.prototype.forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll("*"), function(x){if (getComputedStyle(x).position === "fixed") x.parentNode.removeChild(x);})
