It's very annoying, but thankfully reader mode in every browser gets rid of it and every other annoyance medium has, including popups.

Reader mode is definitely a very important part of the modern web experience. A rather sad truth.

I recently also found a Firefox extension [1] I'd been looking for a some time: a way to automatically enter reader mode on some URLs, such as medium.com. This makes browsing Medium much nicer.

Safari has this built-in.

Enter reader mode on a web page, then right-click on the reader icon and you can set every page in the domain to automatically display in reader mode.

Safari isn't usually the first with new features, so it might be available in other browsers, as well.

Damn’ thanks ! Awesome ! I just discovered it’s also working on iOS with a long press on the reader button
