Extension summary

This extension makes Medium.com more readable by hiding the header/footer when reading the articles.

Both the header and footer can be displayed by scrolling up, it uses a pattern visible on many modern reading sites but for some reason medium doesn't reduce nor hide their header/footer forcing you to have an inferior reading experience.
