Tangentially: after you've blocked a very large number of ads and sidebars, one useful enhancement is to expand whatever text elements remain, to regain use of all that now-empty whitespace. Something like so:

    :xpath(//main/div):style(min-width: 80% !important)

(I've been looking at going a step further for some sites, by annotating a "column-count:" [0] rule and making the screen look like a newspaper. (Narrow columns for readability—multiple columns for "scan-ability"). Unfortunately, there's a lot more fiddling and tuning to this than I expected: it doesn't automagically work in the way you'd hope. Modern website DOM layouts are basically Superfund sites).

[late edit]: Here's a minimal example of "column-count:" injected by uBlock (on a website where it sort-of works)—this is what I'm trying to coerce other websites into looking like:

    theguardian.com###maincontent:style(margin-left: -28vw !important; min-width: 90vw !important; column-count: 4 !important)
    theguardian.com##div:style(border: none !important)

Are you at the point where you should be pouring this content into RSS, and styling it as columns in a reader?

(I really like the column idea, and I'm working back towards RSS, with a bunch of smart filters, being my primary way of interacting with anything I visit regularly. I never should have given it up).

>>perihe+(OP)
The first one is a nice trick. Sometimes websites get broken when you remove some elements. Thanks!

I'm quite the fan of various site restylings, using both uBO and Stylus.

But often just switching to Reader Mode is the faster and preferable option.

(This isn't always an option, but frequently is.)

It would be cool if you could figure out a way to have this work on top of FF's reader view.

The only reliable way I've found (so far) to shuttle Facebook Pages into something easily to consume (RSS) is unfortunately a paid service... even paid IFTT doesn't support a page posts -> fire webhook/email/etc sadly. Unfortunate, since some local government stuff or otherwise noteworthy stuff is... only available on Facebook. Sometimes it's available on 'X'/Twitter but often not as detailed, or it links to Facebook for more details.

Good point. I've found nothing off the shelf that will work for private groups, and that's the only bit of FB I'm interested in.

> Stylish

is that the one with a bunch of spyware on it? or is that the one that replaced the one with a bunch of spyware on it

>>smegsi+052
It's the bad one.

Stylus is the good one https://add0n.com/stylus.html

It's possible to style the page Reader View uses by creating new files in FF's folders somewhere...

That works too!

    @-moz-document url-prefix(about:reader) {
      .container {
        column-count: 4;
        min-width: 85vw !important;
        margin: 0 50px 0 50px;
      }
    }

It's chrome/userContent.css in the Firefox profile subdirectory, enabled by the about:config flag toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets.

Gah! I meant "Stylus".

The name similarity means I keep getting them confused. Including repeatedly on HN comments.

And yes, I do know the difference: <>>36859978 >

Typo fixed above.
