That is indeed simpler, but not nearly as powerful or as flexible. As far as I know, no default Firefox setting will allow you to impose different font sizes per website. Also, the setting you mention will change only the font size, and no

I downvoted because I have no interest in seeing stock trading tips on HN. This is not a stock trading forum, and those kinds of comments don't belong here.

"And then forgive the "debt" they created and pretend like it was "paid back"." Could you substantiate this claim? I'm genuinely interested. I was under the impression that the overwhelming majority of the bailout money was paid back. I

My experience with modern statically typed languages have been primarily with ML and OCaml. While they have a lot of advantages over neanderthal languages like C, and it's great that once you've gotten your program to compile, whole classes
