Is there a way to do this on mobile? Probably not an easy one, but if mobile Safari had an extension, I'd install it immediately.

The worst is when you use the top edge of the screen to read, but the site has a navbar that only shows up when you scroll up. So if you scroll slowly upwards, the navbar creeps slowly downwards, and keeps hiding the text you're trying to read. Thankfully such design choices seem to be getting rarer.

Do sticky headers measurably increase conversion rates, or is it a fad? If there's data to support why people keep making this decision, I guess I could be persuaded to feel that it's not a case of "Everyone likes to do it their way, and you like your way."



Bookmarklets work fine on iOS Safari last time I checked. You have to add a bookmark for some random page, then go back in and edit it, though.


It’s a bit easier to set it up on desktop safari and let iCloud sync it over for you…

Does the bookmarklet get executed for the current open tab?


Yup


I’ve been using this bookmarklet on mobile safari for 3-4 years…

edit - just looked up the DF post I found out about it from, and it’s been 5.something years

You can add it to a bookmark/favourites, then just tapping on it from the favourites page will work as expected. It works pretty well in Safari.
