Anyway, the fixed nav bars on sites aren't all coded the same way, so there's no easy way to selectively remove that element on all sites, but what you can do is use a browser plugin like Evernote Clearly ( https://evernote.com/clearly/) or Readability ( https://www.readability.com/apps) or the native reading view in Safari if you're on OS X to transform pages into a consistent, readable format.
Needless to say, saving them to Pocket/Instapaper/Readability accomplishes the same thing, but then you have to go to their sites or apps to read. |
Thank you so much for the suggestion and link to Evernote Clearly! That is fantastic. For the GoodEReader.com article I screencapped above (where I could only see a tiny bit of the photo and just a few words about buying an ereader in Canada) it now looks like this with the Evernote Clearly add-on:

I can now read almost the entire text of the article without scrolling, which is really awesome.
To answer your question, I'm using Firefox, and I do have the defaults set to relatively large text because I sit a bit back from the screen and don't like to squint or strain my eyes. But no other sites expand the text like that. And the top element takes up about four times the vertical space that my Firefox tabs, address bar, and bookmark toolbars all take up. That is especially bad because my notebook is this one -

-- which is great if you like an unusually wide screen, but it is quite low on vertical space. So a large bar at the top of a page, like the one embedded on the GoodEReader site only leaves me about two inches of space to view the actual blog content!
Most pages look fine though, even with my large text preference. Here is what your post here looks like for comparison:

Anyway... thanks so much for your reply here. It was tremendously helpful to me.
