This little bookmarklet [1] takes care of those fixed position items nicely:
javascript: (function%20()%20{var%20i,elements=document.querySelectorAll('body%20*');%20for%20(i=0;i<elements.length;i++)%20{if%20(getComputedStyle(elements[i]).position==='fixed'%20||%20getComputedStyle(elements[i]).position==='sticky')%20{elements[i].parentNode.removeChild(elements[i]);}}})();
Anything on the page styled as position: fixed or position: sticky is deleted. Cleans those things right up.
Re:Why website body text should be bigger

You are a hero. Thank you.
Very useful.
Thanks.
As with most such bars, it breaks scrolling one screen at a time using Space or Page Down. So I get to read:
"Now, I’m not saying that small typography is bad. An 18px font is perfectly legible"
[press Space]
"captions, cards and other UI elements, but there’s good reason to increase it a few more notches for body text."
Fixing this is entirely doable - nytimes.com has a fixed navbar but Space still scrolls <1 screen at a time. I would expect better from a screed like this which proclaims "Scrolling is a natural, established pattern on the web - people expect to have to scroll."
