top of the page: with navigation & cookie notice obscuring the thread

As of now, navigation menu & cookie notice stay in place on top & bottom of the "view port", thus obscuring a large portion of the thread at slight magnification & large font size. As such I can read only a handful of lines at a time; see the images with default style in effect ...

I tried to produce a CSS patch by removal of "position: sticky" style where applicable. But the CSS available via "view source" option is hairy and could not produce a worthwhile patch. So I can only request to kindly remove the "position: sticky" style.

Locally I am using "position: static" style -- via "Stylus" extension of Firefox --  for menu & cookie notice objects to be able to read the thread much more comfortably ...

}


... attached are the images showing the effect ...

... obvious issue with this is that I can use the above mentioned "position: static" style only on my own devices but not elsewhere.
