This is a browser bookmarklet which hides annoying overlays on web pages that are positioned at fixed locations on the page and don't move as you scroll. This is particularly useful for smaller desktop screens (I have a 13" MacBook Pro). Examples include:

• Cookie banners
• Banners at the top and bottom of the page on Medium-powered blogs telling you to sign in
• Navigation bars on web pages that don't scroll out of the way when you scroll down

Usage

1. Create a new bookmark
2. Copy the content of toggle-fixed-element.js

                               validator=colander.OneOf(["updated", "created", "id", "group", "user"]),
                               missing="updated")

    order = colander.SchemaNode(colander.String(),
                                validator=colander.OneOf(["asc", "desc"]),
                                missing="desc")

In order to test the Hypothesis development on websites which:

1. Are served over HTTPS
2. Use Content Security Policy to restrict where scripts are loaded from

You will need to:

1. Build a browser extension using the development client.

2. Follow the steps at https://github.com/hypothesis/browser-extension/blob/master/docs/building.md

This gist demonstrates a problem with IndexedDB & Promises in Firefox which makes using IndexedDB very unergonomic in some cases in Firefox.

The test below reads, updates & writes a counter value to an IndexedDB database 10 times in the same transaction and then prints the result. To make the code easier to read, it uses async + await, which requires converting the IndexedDB requests (IDBRequest objects) to promises with a simple helper.

In Chrome, multiple promise callbacks can be executed with auto-committing an IDB transaction, allowing read-modify-write steps to work. In Firefox however, the IDB transaction gets auto-committed before the promise callback is fired, which means that read-modify-write operations have to use callbacks rather than promises.

How to test NVDA screen reader behaviour on a Mac:

1. Download Microsoft Edge VM from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/
2. Download Virtualbox and import the Edge VM image.

Then in the VM:

1. Install guest addons in the VM
2. Download & install latest NVDA from nvaccess.org
3. Download & install SharpKeys and use it to map left an alternative key (eg. Left Ctrl) to the Insert key. This is needed because Macs do not typically have an “Insert” key which is the prefix for many NVDA commands.
