I've never retweeted myself before and it feels odd but here we are. Anybody here ever write a user style sheet for themselves or anyone else?

Well see there was this thing in CSS called user style sheets that you could use to write your own styles that would override those provided specific to your needs. You can still do it. Why don't we know about it probably as the primary use case was largely for accessibility.

I've actually used a user style sheet as my primary ad blocking tech. Literally have basically used it since Firefox was called firebird. For a while I also used it to alert me to PDF links be appending a "[pdf]" to links too.

That rocks I love it! I wish people would publish user style if we had shared some basic ones like larger font sizes or specific contrast colors I think it would have been more conducive to their success.

Made a few edits to take out some tweaks for a few domains I wouldn't want published -- and some of these custom domain tweaks no longer do anything -- but this is what I've been using, along with NoScript to take care of ads in Firefox for years. powrsurg.com/files/userConte…
