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.

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
