Enhanced Medium Redirect UserScript

Description

This UserScript for Tampermonkey (or compatible userscript managers) enhances the reading experience on Medium by providing easy access to Freedium and Archive.is, adjusting article layout, and hiding distracting elements. It improves readability and offers simple solutions to access restricted content.

Features

  • Dual Redirection Options: Adds buttons to open articles in Freedium or Archive.is.
  • Improved Article Layout: Widens the article content for better readability on large screens.
  • Image Size Adjustment: Resizes large images for a more comfortable reading experience while preserving zoom functionality.
  • Clutter Removal: Hides recommended articles and "More from author" sections.
  • Automatic Paywall Handling: Attempts to close paywall popups automatically.
  • User-Friendly Design: Non-intrusive buttons at the top of the page for easy access.

Installation

  1. Install Tampermonkey or a compatible userscript manager.
  2. Click on the installation link for this script.
  3. The userscript manager should open a new tab displaying the script.
  4. Confirm the installation when prompted.

Usage

  • Once installed, navigate to any article on Medium.
  • Two buttons will appear at the top center of the page: "Freedium" and "Archive.is".
  • Click either button to open the article in the respective service.
  • Enjoy the wider article layout and adjusted image sizes for improved readability.

Compatibility

  • Tested with Tampermonkey on Chrome and Firefox.
  • Should work with other userscript managers that are compatible with Tampermonkey scripts.

Notes
