Redefined 'referer' in HTTP header to read medium article.
Medium Infinity Reader: An Enhancing Chrome Extension for Medium
The 'Medium Infinity Reader' is an innovative Chrome extension that has the primary function of bypassing Medium's reading article constraints. The way it works is by altering the 'referer' in the HTTP header, essentially harbouring the guise of Twitter as the source. It steers clear of any cracking activities, urging users to support the genuine version. Users are invited to suggest improvements and contribute to its development via GitHub.
