About this extension
A normal Medium article comes with a ton of baggage that gets in the way of reading- paywall, popup, user-tracking javascript, recommendation and etc. This extension removes all that and purely gives you the static content.

Features
  • Blazing fast
  • Support embedded contents and gists
  • Syntax highlighting
  • Bypass the Medium paywall
  • Surface author's RSS feed for easy subscription

Roadmap
  • Supports major publications without relying on static list of domains
  • Dark mode
  • Add additional values for syndicated posts from personal sites

Known issue
Medium seems to have caught on to the twitter url hack as a workaround their paywall. I'm occupied with another project now. In the meantime, I suggest this free service https://scribe.rip
