/userstyles

A collection of UserStyle CSS files to modify the appearance of websites.

A collection of home-made UserStyle CSS files, to be used with Stylus or other browser mechanism. UserStyles are used to modify the appearance (what you see) of a select few websites which the author frequently uses and would rather were design differently.

Use with the Stylus browser addon (for Firefox, for Chrome). Be cautious of similar-named addons as they’re often used to collect data without your consent. For an intoduction on how to use and experiment with Stylus (no need to be a programmer) see “Redesign Your Favorite Websites — Stylus Extension for FireFox or Chrome”.

These UserStyles may update automatically to accomodate for improvements and breaking changes, but they are primarily intented for my personal use, hence I am reluctant to changes that do not serve my use cases. You may use the Issue page to report any unintented behaviour (bugs) or breaks (usually when the website implements a major change) that you come accross.

Index

Click on “Install this style” to preview the CSS code and install directy if you already have Stylus enabled. All styles support automatic updates.

Global styles

Global or single-purpose styles that apply to multiple domains.

Hide dickbars

Hides “dickbars” (as defined by John Gruber), i.e. annoying CTAs and floating bars in several websites. Currently: facebook.com; instagram.com; linkedin.com, tumblr.com; twitter.com; newyorker.com; nytimes.com (incl. wirecutter); wired.com; artforum.com; japantimes.co.jp; kathimerini.gr, verge.com. These UserStyles are neither able nor intent to bypass paywalls, but instead provide a convenient way to view content without obstructions. Please be aware that they are not thoroughly tested, and on occasion may break useful functionality of the targeted websites, such as login pop-ups. For more complete applications, there are elaborate solutions such as @yourduskquibbles/webannoyances or 12ft.io.

UserChrome.css

Styles to modify the User Interface of Mozilla Firefox through UserChrome.css. Their installation is not as straightforward, and this feature is disabled by default.

  1. On Windows, navigate to %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles (you can copy/paste this in the Explorer address bar) or open the Local Directory of the profile in use by visiting about:profiles from the browser address bar. The profile in use is the one you cannot delete.
  2. Create a folder named chrome then create inside it a file named userChrome.css where you will paste the relevant code.
  3. If userChrome.css doesn’t seem to work, open about:config and set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets=true if already set to false.
