Hacker News Reader

We hate it too! Was not easy to find the right option in this wordpress non-sense but it should be gone for good.

Agreed. Also hijacked two-finger-swipe to go back.

I mostly browse in Safari Reader mode. No highjacking, popup, dickbar, etc. Looks and reads a lot better too.

As soon as grey-on-white shows up, I tap the reader mode button. Firefox, Safari, Chrome (via Just Read).

If that doesn't take care of it, they can't have wanted me to read it.

I hit the "DT" icon I put next to my address bar. Doesn't work on all elements but if they're using <p> properly it'll make the text nice and dark

Definitely going to give that Just Read extension a go

Disable javascript, the annoying bar still remains but at least you can read it.

With noscript you can selectively disable and enable javascript for different domains.

And the dickbar too.
