Make Medium Readable Again

Make Medium Readable Again is a Chrome extension and Firefox add-on that improves a reading experience ruined by user engagement tactics. Medium was actually readable once; this extension aims to help people pay attention to writers’ words again instead of Medium’s UX.

Improves readability by

Keeping the top navigation bar from sticking around
Hiding the bottom “Get Updates” bar completely
Shrinking massive header images
(Optionally) hiding the clap / share bar
(Optionally) loading all post images up front, instead of lazy loading as you scroll

I’m Matt Baer, and I like building software that thinks about its users. Inspired by this and a time when Medium was more readable, I built a writing platform called Write.as that works great if you never sign up, lets you read, and leaves out the comments, claps, and dickbars. It’s perfect for when you just need to get your thoughts out — and if you want to share, you can always cross-post to Medium.
