By far, my favorite feature in iOS 18 is Safari’s “hide distracting items” feature. It lets you permanently hide the cookie popups on a per site basis. And the annoying google sign in popups, and the annoying scroll down popups.

Wait, is it when you pull the page by moving your finger to the bottom of the screen and the “header” pops up?

You mean the vanity flap at the top?

No those are a different sign of design ineptitude.

They mean the popups that appear as you try to read what you followed the link for.

Some sites ask you for an email, or login when you scroll down, and you have to hide it to keep reading. I think Medium pioneered this?

Oh, sad. I hate these idiotic header backscroll popups so hard, hoped it can disable that too.
