If you’re annoyed with popovers and pop-ups when you try to read a post on Medium.com (or don’t want to visit Medium.com) try this tip:
Replace any medium.com link
with
scribe.rip
Voilà!
You get a better reading experience with the Scribe frontend.
Caveat: Using scribe.rip won’t bypass the Medium login. Scribe.rip will cut off stories that are paywalled or account-walled.
Wondering Why People Use Scribe Instead of Medium?
While I rarely read content on Medium (I’ve a big believer in the open web and owning your own content), every once in a while, there’s something interesting on Medium that I want to read.
And the Scribe frontend makes that easy for me to do.
The Scribe FAQ section goes into more details, but one of the top reasons for using using Scribe instead of Medium (beyond the popovers and popups) is how Medium uses your data:
Medium retains personal data about you, even if you request removal.
