Yes, being able to specify a user stylesheet was common in early browsers. Now there are extensions to provide a GUI and to manage different styles for different domains.
It was always somewhat difficult to maintain custom styles beyond things browsers still let you set like fonts but it’s harder now because it’s so common for developers to not use appropriate semantic HTML.
- necovek 6y agoIt's funny you call that "early browsers": from the perspective of today, you are absolutely right! I just remember CSS getting introduced (was it late 90s?) and think of things like Netscape 4.0 as "middle age browsers" (with 3.0 ending the early age — I am sure others would call that a middle age browser too, but I did not get to experience Mosaic and such), but I think I need to recalibrate my sense of history here :)
