Medium to Scribe bookmarklet to the rescue. Whenever I find myself on a Medium-powered site (it doesn't have to be medium.com itself):

    javascript:(function() { window.location.replace( document.URL.replace( document.location.host,'scribe.rip') )})()

Though lately I've also been relying more on Brave's "Speed Reader" functionality for articles that are not code-heavy, as I am not a fan of its current stylesheet.

The problem with this bookmarklet is that we have to go to Medium first, then run it. So for Medium it's all the same, they get their views and data all the same.

What we really need is a bookmarklet that changes all found links to Medium articles instead, so you run it before you click. Or extension that does it automatically.

They don't if you are aggressively blocking their cookies and trackers. They can get what, a page view and an IP address? If that is enough for them to make money out of the thing, then let them.
