You have installation instructions for Firefox, which has like a 5% market share, yet you don't have instructions for chrome. That cracked me up

I think Chrome killed off that one popular extension for CSS insertion?

Reminds me of those times when I built a website that doesn't have a functioning mobile view, put it on reddit, and it turns out that everybody is mobile

Maybe 5% total user share. Certainly the tech oriented crowd uses Firefox at a greater rate.

It wouldn't be HN if I didn't say that I think Windows 95 had solid blue title bars rather than the 98/NT gradient.

But yeah this is cool :)

Chrome removed that functionality a few years ago:

https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/1ymfgw/user_stylesh...

(The comment there that removing this "is going to help increase speed significantly in the future" is pure BS. If anything, user stylesheet functionality was handled in native code --- just adding another CSS to the page --- which makes it far more efficient than going through the whole JS/extensions route.)

Ironically, IE11 is the last MS browser to support user stylesheets (Tools->Options->Accessibility) but Edge doesn't.

Even in Firefox, the fact that it's named "toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets" is ominous.

The Internet is becoming more and more user-hostile, and it's not just websites who are responsible.
