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
