I disagree. People needs to have fixed headers that auto hides on scroll down and auto shows when you start scrolling up.

Due to that low screen real estate there is an extreme amount of scrolling down, whenever you need that header to navigate you end up needing to scroll a long way to the top.

Links from the bottom are easily forgotten about when you're half or 80% of the way through an article. Likewise follow you around widgets are a painful annoyance 100% of the time.

I still find that very annoying. Sometimes I have to scroll up and find that damn thing covering part of my screen again.

Fortunately I have a bookmarklet that zaps all the position:fixed elements to static :) It works brilliantly in 99.9% of the cases :)
