I really don't want to be 'that' guy, but this article is pretty much unreadable due to the fact that there are six social media buttons hovering over the text. Madness.

And yet, running NoScript, here is how it looks:

No social media buttons hovering over the page at all.


I could do that. I'm just feeling pity for the 99.9% of internet users who don't know how to use NoScript / AdBlock / whatever.


It's not good but it's far from unreadable.


If you have adblock plus, go here: https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/

and add "Fanboy's Annoyance List". That includes "Fanboy's Social Blocking List", which is also there.

I have not seen social media buttons on the internet in a long time and it is incredible.


I don't see those, thanks to NoScript and Privacy Badger :)


Yeah, I hate that, too. Maximizing the window worked, though.


ublock origin here, did not see them at all.


When a future race digs up our ruins I wonder what they will think the social media buttons mean.
