With a habit of highlighting text while reading - this is by far the most irritating thing I've ever seen.
I know I'm not alone.

I know I'm not alone.
I'm not quite sure what is so terrible about it as you can still do all of your normal selection actions with no modification and the whole purpose of the selection+popup is to facilitate further discussion of specific phrases within an article.
And, while I know it's easy to hate on social media like Twitter, Medium is the new project by the founder of Twitter and you _have_ to have a Twitter account to sign up for it in any case.
Problem is highlighting is slow. It ruins the way I (and many others) browse... I'd love to see stats on how many actually use this rubbish (annoyance).
On a completely separate note, people tweeting should be very comfortable with command-c command-v, and everyone else should be too.
This is exactly what I'm talking about.
I doubt even those who tweet use this widget. As useless as {'Share','Follow','Like','Digg'}
As the title says, this must go away.
For editors this menu filled with text formatting tools might be a nice feature, but for users, especially with second class functionality, I'd consider it an anti-pattern.
Or even better a grease monkey script if anyone still uses that.
To get grease monkey scripts on chrome search up black canvas and obviously userscripts.org
