Why not simply inject a tiny bit of client side CSS and fix it yourself? True to the hacker spirit.

- sgbeal 3y ago> Why not simply inject a tiny bit of client side CSS and fix it yourself? True to the hacker spirit. Because, as the OP states, i'm on a phone.
- redsaber 3y agohopefully someone can create a script for phones since Firefox Nightly in Android got Tampermonkey add on
- lpapez 3y agoYou don't even need Nightly since February, version 110 added it :)
- RGBCube 3y agoTampermonkey is available in the stable Firefox app too, btw. Though I wish Stylus supported Firefox mobile, it's better for CSS as it only does CSS.
- FireInsight 3y agoWith Nightly and an addon collection on addons.mozilla.org, you can install Stylus too.
- lpapez 3y agoIn that case you can use Firefox Mobile and Tampermonkey addon to inject custom CSS.
- BaseballPhysics 3y agoWell you just changed my life. I've used Firefox Mobile for years but never considered that Tampermonkey might have been among the supported add-ons...
- aendruk 3y agoWhat a sad state of affairs that this is a successful counter argument. There no technical reason that pocket computers should be incapable of applying user styles. Alas, we allowed the advent of a new technology ratchet tighter the grasp of commercial interests over society.
- sgbeal 3y agoLikewise, what a sad state of affairs that mobile-device users should have to add custom CSS to a given page to use it properly.
- aendruk 3y agoIndeed, imagine a world in which something much closer to bare, structured content was delivered and the user agent decided how to present it.
- shmoogy 3y agoYou can do this on iPhone so I strongly assume you can on android too. For iOS you can use Userscripts or Stay or other apps/extensions and they can import greasemonkey scripts to auto load on specific domains. I never thought about fixing hackernews... have to look for some good scripts now
- johnnyanmac 3y ago>There no technical reason that pocket computers should be incapable of applying user styles. There were in the beginning of Smartphones. We grew past them, but the paradigms and mentalities of smartphones were well cemented by then.
- Shawnj2 3y agoYou should be able to do that on iOS with an extension like Hyperweb
