kill-sticky VS violentmonkey

Kill Sticky bookmarklet[1]. Also works on mobile. Get in the habit of clicking it, you'll start using it a lot to recover that extra inch of vertical space that web devs love to take away from you for some bizarre reason.

Works in every browser (I use it in Safari on iOS and Firefox on desktop). These fucking stupid sticky elements are so common, I almost reflexively go hit this bookmarklet on every website now. It makes the web so much better.

In the meantime, NoScript[1] frequently avoids them entirely by just showing the page contents with no JS at all, and Kill Sticky[2] cleans up the ones that require JS to show you the content you actually want.

[2] Kill Sticky bookmarklet for all browsers including mobile: https://github.com/t-mart/kill-sticky

Or, a Firefox extension that adds a toolbar button: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/kill-sticky/

kill-sticky just JavaScript so it will work on any browser

I found a fix!

Just add a little bit of code to a bookmark button, it works wonderfully.

Click the button and your scrollbar returns, the keyboard works again, _AND_ the page renders to a PDF beautifully.

You're welcome. :)

I recognize that I may be contributing to your "addons have so much power" argument, but I wanted to draw your attention to ViolentMonkey <https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey#readme> which is stellar for these site-specific customizations (known as User Scripts, of which Greasemonkey was the most famous)

Since Tampermonkey seems to be misbehaving, consider using Violentmonkey.

I have no damn idea why Tampermonkey, which as very best I can tell is closed source <https://github.com/Tampermonkey/tampermonkey/blob/master/REA...>, is on the "blessed" Firefox for Android list when Violentmonkey <https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey#readme> is MIT, although I readily admit doesn't it have a "politically correct" name

Step 1Install violentmonkey (or your favorite user script manager)

(And yes, after that I personally pivoted to Violentmonkey. Overall it's good to have a choice :)

Sounds like a good violent monkey [0] script for you do this weekend. :)

I personally use TamperMonkey to run user-scripts and can vouch for its usefulness. Violentmonkey seems to be a popular alternative.

Toolbox is great, but if that is all you really need, here's this! You can copy and paste this as a new script to use in ViolentMonkey [AMO] or whatever script manager you use.
