edit: This issue is resolved with the latest update. It adds a toggle below the image, with alt-text default to off.
Below is the original post context:
How can I stop alt-text from showing over images? Is there a setting I'm not noticing?

Yeah would love to know how to remove that too. It's driving me nuts.
Same with these annoying little floaty up and down buttons when I'm reading comments. I don't need these they just get in the way.
Floating Action Button > turn off Enable… for Posts or Tweak to how you want it to act
Yep tried that before and it is still there even when the toggle is gray and inactive. Seems to work to disable it on feeds but doesn't work when reading comments in a post. Might be a bug :<
Hey there! To completely disable the bottom navigation pill, you'll also have to turn off comment navigator in the settings. Here's a quick link to that setting: Thunder Setting: General > Comments > Enable Comment Navigation
Let me know if that disables the bottom pill completely!
Oh awesome that did the trick!! Thank you :D
Had to dig out an old tablet, but yeah Android is different here maybe? And I think someone answered below too. Whomp whomp
