80% of the time, it works every time.
- Encosia 17y agoThank you.
- hesdeadjim 17y agoOh you rock, this is awesome. As soon as I opened the link for this news item I closed it immediately due to the complete lack of readability. Someone buy the man a book on typography, please!
- zacharypinter 17y agoThis comment was more valuable than the article. Thanks!
- rpdillon 17y agoYou just made my day. Thank you, sir.
- rms 17y agoThere's also always View -> Page Style ->No Style
- troels 17y agoAnd Ctrl + (Repeat until satisfied)
- rms 17y agoDefinitely... I have Verdana as my default font and I Ctrl+ and Ctrl- my way all over the web.
- shiranaihito 17y agoHow about setting a suitable default zoom level? That way you only have to sometimes decrease it. ( At least Opera supports this, don't remember about Firefox )
- semiquaver 17y agoAt least the last time I set up a computer for an elderly relative, it required an extension, I think it's called Default Pagezoom.
- Hexstream 17y agoAnd Ctrl-0 returns to default size. Before I knew this I was more resistant to temporarily adjusting font size because of the annoyance of then returning to default size.
- jrschulz 17y agoI always just "(Dis)allow pages using their own fonts" + a readable minimum font size. That makes browsing much more comfortable for me and doesn't break too many sites (only very rigid table layouts, most of the time crappy online shops).
- matthewking 17y agoA tool as brilliant as this, combined with an audience that reads tons of articles spread all over the internet every day, surely it deserves its own thread? I can see myself using Readability to format most of the articles I read online now. Thanks for the link!
- DTrejo 17y agoIt had its own thread a while back
- matthewking 17y agoI think sometimes a duplicate is valid, after all I read through HN 2-3 times a day and I still managed to miss the thread for this the first time around.
- surki 17y agobtw, if you are using conkeror(or may be vimperator), use this tip to bind it to a key(I bind it to 'z'). Much easier. http://conkeror.org/Tips#Makethecurrentpagereadablebyremovingclutter http://conkeror.org/Tips#Makethecurrentpagereadablebyremovin...
- ajtaylor 17y agoWhat a fabulous little tool! Thanks for the link.
