Chrome Extension: Make Medium Readable Again

The 'Make Medium Readable Again' Chrome extension modifies the Medium platform to improve the user's reading experience. It eliminates elements that are considered disturbing e.g. sticky navigation bars and pop-up interruptions. It also offers options like pre-loading images and disabling highlight menu. It functions across all sites due to Medium publications being on custom domains. Open-source and frequently updated, this extension aims to truly make Medium 'readable' again.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

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
