The author expresses a strong dislike for sticky headers on websites, especially when using an 11″ MacBook Air with limited vertical screen space. The author provides a bookmarklet called “Kill Sticky” to remove sticky headers, allowing for a better reading experience without distractions. The bookmarklet removes all fixed-position elements on the page, simplifying the process and allowing for easy navigation. The author emphasizes the simplicity of the solution and the focus on reading content without interruptions. This straightforward approach is preferred over more complex options like custom user-stylesheets or browser plugins.
