Everyone knows what kind of website Zhihu is. Today, we’re sharing a small tool to make your Zhihu browsing experience at work more enjoyable.

When I was looking at my own Zhihu account analytics, I discovered something quite interesting — over 40% of traffic came from the PC side, which is almost unimaginable in the mobile internet era. I also learned from other sources that Zhihu’s traffic on weekends and holidays is lower than on workdays.

What does this tell us? You’re not the only one browsing Zhihu at work. For a significant portion of people, Zhihu is primarily used during work hours.

Zhihu is indeed quite suitable for browsing at work — it’s mainly text-based content and has a lot of professional material, so browsing Zhihu at work can genuinely pass as “research.”

However, some of Zhihu’s small UX issues aren’t very friendly for covert browsing. For example, images are too large, and when browsing questions, the title floating panel always appears and is quite conspicuous. So I wrote a simple Tampermonkey script to optimize these two issues and also removed the Zhihu logo while I was at it.

If you’re interested, feel free to give it a try. If you have any other pain points with Zhihu, feel free to share them.
