Medium is pretty annoying to read when you’re not logged in. This extension quietly fixes that on any Medium publication you visit.
It makes your reading experience more bearable by:
* Keeping the top navigation bar from sticking around
* Hiding the bottom “Get Updates” bar completely
* Shrinking massive header images
* Hiding “posts meter” bar and Upgrade header button
* Hiding “Open in App” button on mobile
* Blocking the “pardon the interruption” popup
* (Optionally) hiding the clap / share bar
* (Optionally) loading all post images up front, instead of lazy loading as you scroll
* (Optionally) disabling the popup menu that appears when selecting text
This extension is open source software! Want to contribute? Feel free: https://github.com/thebaer/MMRA
**A note about permissions**: this extension currently needs access on all sites, as certain Medium publications exist on custom domains. You can verify there isn’t anything funny going on by looking at the code, and submit a patch if you’d like to improve this!

Really cool. Does what it says it does. The writing on Medium, in some cases, is good enough that it’s worth fighting for and/or paying for – whatever the case may be. In addition to this extension I use another extension called Readup which removes all the social icons and bloat on Medium and has a nice community in the comments. Long live the indie web!

Very useful, but that giant top bar is sticky again and the extension is not hiding it anymore 🙁
Wow. Medium.com has the most obnoxious popups I’ve seen on the internet. If I were a webmaster there I would be afraid to show myself in public.
The fact that this plugin exists AND that it is widely regarded as a life saver says it all. Too bad people keep putting content on medium.com and that medium.com keeps pretending everything is fine.
Thank you for this plugin.
Does not work. The top bar still does not hide.
Was working well, now the top bar at hackernoon is showing. 🙁
Here we goes 🤘
