why should anyone install an extension to read a website that obviously does not care about the (life)time of it's visitors.
just stop reading quora and stop clicking on quora links (especially in the google SERPs) and the problem will solve itself.
- notJim 14y agoThere's actually a lot of really great, interesting content on Quora. I wish I could stop clicking, but when I see them in search results or get their emails, I know that whatever content is on the other side is likely to be good. I actually have a Quora account, too, but I don't understand why I need to log in to read something. Lately my strategy has just been to edit the CSS in the inspector. This isn't to say I like Quora. I can't wait for someone to come along and fucking destroy them, and take their excellent userbase with them.
- bentlegen 14y agoTo be honest, my goal with this extension was to raise awareness about Quora obfuscating answers for anonymous visitors ala Experts Exchange. Most contributors on Quora don't know that their content is being presented this way. (According to Quora's ToS, the submitter's content is their own.)

- benologist 14y agoIt's probably worth using now that they publish everything you read as well.
- zevyoura 14y agoWorth noting that you can opt out of that.
- benologist 14y agoYeah but it's one of those subtle privacy invasions that you have to realize has occurred before you can opt out, and most people will never see the "X viewed this" link tucked away at the bottom of the page.
- eli 14y agoI typically just want the answer to my question when I Google something.
- zem 14y agoblock quora pages from your google results. problem solved.
