Is there a way to get rid of the huge distracting "Swipe for next article" overlay on the-independent.com?
uBlock Origin and add "annoyances" to your filter list
It stays smaller then, but is still there. However, I've found (out) that reader mode works quite OK on that site.
I feel like you're missing the point of quotes.
~~Hide
#next-click-btn~~Edit: nope, it's there again.
I use Behind The Overlay addon in Firefox.
Couldn't immediately find that one. First two pages of hits for "Behind The Overlay" are for Chrome/Edge, I'm looking for a solution on mobile though, ie Firefox/Fennec - seems to be this:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/behind_the_overlay/
... which does not work on mobile unfortunately, because it only offers a toolbar button, not an extension entry/menu.
Oh sorry, you're on mobile? Then just use Firefox with uBlock Origin if you don't already, and it should take care of it, if not you may want to subscribe to the "Annoyances" lists.
