Don't forget about when it asks you to share the highlighted text! I've disabled that with some Chrome extension, thankfully, but haven't figured out the popup yet.

God, I hate that highlighted text, because it's always some faux-deep quote that just pisses me off. Like I might have appreciated it if it weren't for that stupid highlighting making it look like it's a teenager stopping halfway through a presentation to look at you and make sure that you caught he said something intelligent.

I get irrationally angry at that highlighting. BTW ublock origin might be able to block the popup, if you right click -> block element

Disabling JS gets rid of this and popup. Add in a display:none for the leftover sticky footer, and you can finally read in peace.
