I admit this is neat tech but I am not looking forward to the monstrosities that are going to result. I'm hoping there will be (already is?) something that could translate anything into a stripped down minimal-effect version. Like reader mode but universal
- dqv 7mo agoThat already exists because it's just a styled dropdown menu. If you remove the CSS, it reverts back to an unstyled dropdown menu like what is seen at the beginning of the article: https://i0.wp.com/css-tricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/image-7.png?w=246&ssl=1 https://i0.wp.com/css-tricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/...
- duskdozer 7mo agoYeah, and maybe I'm overcomplicating this in my head, but it's based on my difficult experience trying to reduce distracting/annoying styling ad-hoc. My ideal is something that's able to "universally" produce a barebones version of a page that matches its original layout as best it can, and otherwise leaves it semi functional/readable. Maybe I just haven't spent enough time sitting and thinking about how to do this generically and it's easier than I think.

- 8organicbits 7mo agoWould changing your usercontent.css or uBlock Origin filter to set all select appearance attributes to auto help? There are some challenges, like the custom style could hide elements, but I think that should give fall-back equivilent styling.
- troupo 7mo agoThis is still better than currebt monstrosities because the underlying select should still be an actual select (including keyboard navigation etc.)
