Or, on a purely ad hoc basis, McDiarmid's "Kill Sticky Headers" (https://alisdair.mcdiarmid.org/kill-sticky-headers).

Slightly better implementation:

    javascript:(function(){(function(){var%20i,elements=document.querySelectorAll('body%20*');for(i=0;i<elements.length;i++){var%20p=getComputedStyle(elements[i]).position;if(p==='fixed'||p==='sticky'||p==='-webkit-sticky'){elements[i].parentNode.removeChild(elements[i]);}}})()})()

It's basically the same but it also catches `sticky` and `-webkit-sticky`, which some sites use instead of `fixed`.

Thank you! Indeed McDiarmid's implementation is so nearly reliable that I find myself confused and stymied when it doesn't work. I'll substitute yours and hopefully avoid confusion and stymied-ness.

Wow, this makes Medium almost readable! Thanks!

Ugh, Medium is the only site I've had to consistently break out the "Block Element" button with. I don't even mind ads and I'm happy to leave them on sites that I want to support, but Medium is an ugly beast with all of the headers and footers.

I still frequent it for work, there's lots of great stories, but it's almost insufferable.

They don't mind that you feel that way; they still want to make it official.

At this point, while I carry a Medium account, I refuse to log into it out of principle.

I use the extension "Hide Fixed Elements" which is similar.
