Make Medium Readable Again
Make Medium Readable Again is a free browser add-on developed by Musing Studio for the Chrome platform. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This extension aims to neutralize the annoying aspects of the Medium reading experience and make it more enjoyable for users.
When reading Medium articles without being logged in, the platform can be quite frustrating. However, Make Medium Readable Again quietly fixes these annoyances on any Medium publication you visit. It offers several features to enhance your reading experience, including keeping the top navigation bar from sticking around, hiding the bottom "Get Updates" bar completely, and shrinking massive header images. It also hides the "posts meter" bar and Upgrade header button, as well as the "Open in App" button on mobile.
Additionally, this extension blocks the "pardon the interruption" popup and provides optional features such as hiding the clap/share bar, loading all post images up front instead of lazy loading, and disabling the popup menu that appears when selecting text.
Make Medium Readable Again is an open-source software, allowing users to contribute to its development on GitHub. It's worth noting that the extension currently requires access to all sites due to certain Medium publications existing on custom domains. Users can review the code for transparency and submit patches for improvements if desired.
Overall, Make Medium Readable Again is a valuable browser add-on for Chrome users who frequently read Medium articles. It effectively eliminates the annoying elements of the reading experience, making it more enjoyable and user-friendly.
