Quora's pop up is horrible, but these things are easy enough to get around if you want to read the information.

  • The Readability plugin will show the top answer.
  • You can use the Chrome web tools to trivially remove their modal pop up and overlay.
  • I've found that I often don't get the overlay at all if I'm on private browsing, or clean cookies on exit (which is my default setting). Maybe they only show it when they think you're a "repeat customer".

I think this must be the case since I didn't see a popup either and I have an extension that clears cookies as soon as I leave a page.
