could you explain that?
- TeMPOraL 7y agoSure. Most popular on-line stores seem to adopt the "material design" pattern, in which an item on a list looks like this: +---------+ ITEM NAME [-20% OFF][RECOMMENDED] | A photo | | of the | Some minimal description. PRICE (FAKE SALE) | item. | Sometimes something extra. ACTUAL PRICE | | +---------+ <some> <store-specific> <icons> [ADD TO CART] I started to write userstyles that turn them all into: ITEM NAME Some minimal description ACTUAL PRICE [ADD TO CART] Sometimes something extra (with a much smaller font). The userstyles get rid of the photos and bullshit salesy disinformation, reduce margins, paddings and font sizes. This reduces the size of the line item 5-6x while preserving all the important information; it means I can now fit 20-30 line items on my screen, where originally I was able to fit 4-5. With refined enough search criteria, I can fit all results the screen, and compare them without scrolling.
