#2That's beautiful. Well done!

#3It's worth noting that this solution will not work for anything using the relatively new `position: sticky`

#4I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the majority of users don't use spacebar for scrolling in 2019. Besides that (and the screen real estate), I'm not sure it's bad enough to need a bookmarklet to kill it.

#5Great hack to manipulate the DOM with a bookmark!

#6That's a good post. The sticky elements is one of the most annoying things on the web. So after getting annoyed enough I made a simple extension that hides them. It automatically hides the sticky elements on nearly all websites, has a whitelist, and handles special cases like sticky splash screens. It runs on desktop browsers and mobile Firefox.

Like halal food, or kosher food in New York, it's not about how many people use a browser feature. It's about how much they care.

Well,

I don't use the spacebar for scrolling, too. But I'm pretty sure there are people who do; and those people care.

Well, it's bad enough for me that medium.com has a too-giant banner that covers over 30% of the viewport...
At the very least, it was bad enough that I submitted this page, even when I usually don't think that web-trends (like npm, 4MB of JS, 'modern' look of applications, etc...) are bad (opposed to the HN crowd).

If you are designing the web for people of all abilities, then consideration of space bar scrolling is important.
Imagine the frustration of a user that expects certain behavior of the space bar and experiences something else.

It isn't bad enough to need a bookmarklet to kill it. It is worse. It's bad enough to make a greasemonkey script to kill all of them. Sticky headers also muck up the Page Down button quite a bit.
