If you use vimperator (http://www.vimperator.org/ http://www.vimperator.org/) on Firefox, put this in your ~/.vimperatorrc so you can disable CSS with the "s" character (and re-enable it with Shift-S). It removes 99% of bullshit from web pages and allows you to read articles the way Tim Berners-Lee intended, guaranteed!
nmap s :emenu View.Page Style.No Style<CR>
nmap <S-s> :emenu View.Page Style.Basic Page Style<CR>
- kqr 10y agoThanks. This is actually really great. Not only for testing my own web sites, but also for getting rid of a lot of the bullshit on other sites. I'll try to remember I have this shortcut now!
- hf 10y agoNeat, thanks. Works identically with the slightly smaller fork called Pentadactyl (http://5digits.org/pentadactyl/ http://5digits.org/pentadactyl/).
- necessity 10y agoFor me it turns every page completely blank.
- Santosh83 10y agoIs there a significant difference between this function and simply hitting the standard View -> Page Style -> No Page Style menu?
- vortico 10y agoNope, it's just quicker. Also, my menu bar is hidden and I don't know how to get to it.
- retox 10y agoPress alt to see the menu.
- keithpeter 10y agoAlt-vyn to disable site styles Alt-vyb to enable site provided css again
- dotancohen 10y agoThank you, this is terrific!
- keypress 10y agoOpera has or used to have a user styles feature, that you can use to do something similar, I used to dump the sites CSS and use my own.
- keypress 10y agoIt also has a disable images button.
- throwanem 10y agoIf you don't use Vimperator, reader mode's usually good for this, too.
- csydas 10y agoMy only issue with reader mode is that many sites seem to beat it with the stupid"load rest of article button" so you can't just load it all through reader. On iOS I usually try to load articles in between stops in the subway and frequently cannot get just the article without being bothered by the rest of the nonsense on the page. I am ooen to the idea I might be just using readermode wrong but I'd have it on by default if I could be assured I'd actually get a full article each time.
- johnvaluk 10y agoYou can get similar results by toggling usermode: map s :set invusermode <CR> Then you can just use the same key to switch back and forth.
- monochromatic 10y agoThat's... such a good idea.
- CaptSpify 10y agoI've actually just been disabling css via umatrix, but yes. I've found that disabling JS makes sites load at decent speeds, and disabling CSS makes sites readable again. I'd love to be able to control umatrix via vimperator though
