AstroSkipper Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Unfortunately, a new issue.

AstroSkipper Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Userstyles.org now works in NM 28 and loads the site with a specific style. There is a button Install but clicking onto it doesn't install anything and shows a message I have to install the Chrome extension. However, I use the extension Stylem and thought it works for that site. I can only copy the provided CSS code and create an own file. Or do I something wrong?

However, I use the extension Stylem and thought it works for that site. Yes, the "new" owners of the Stylish site are keen to promote their own Chrome (spyware?) extension, and that used to be the case before, too; Stylem hasn't been developed for more than a year: https://github.com/Lootyhoof/stylem/commits/master but it did work with previous incarnations of "userstyles.org": Fix installing from userstyles.org It would appear the new site "overhaul" (read: downgrade ) broke that Stylem functionality ... Users of official Pale Moon may want to report this recent breakage on Stylem's issue tracker, https://github.com/Lootyhoof/stylem/issues or its PM Forum support thread: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=19443 Hopefully then, its author might come up with a fix (if you do file a report, you'd also have to mention the SSUAO for google that makes loading of "userstyles.org" possible under PM ) ...

VistaLover Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 The new incarnation of "userstyles.org" has also broken an old and widely known "hack" inside the "legacy" browser communities; say, for instance, you wanted to load a userstyle found on the URI: https://userstyles.org/styles/140099/discord-dark-maroon Even if your "legacy" browser wasn't able to properly render that page, the CSS code itself was to be found easily via the URI below: https://userstyles.org/styles/140099/discord-dark-maroon.css It could then be "installed" to your Userstyle Manager of choice through the "install CSS from URI" route: But now, sadly, that "*.css" URI redirects back to the original URI , without allowing access to the actual CSS code ... Speaking of that new (and most evil) "userstyles.org" redesign , it's full of CSS animations (the subject of a recent discussion here), thus a mere visit on the homepage is enough to "fry" both cores of my CPU (FFS , even the Stylish logo itself (top left) is being auto-animated! ) ... ...

Just an indisputable proof of how much Chromium-centric the web has become , making individual userstyle pages display normally under St52 is just a "Chrome" UA away: general.useragent.override.userstyles.org;Chrome Then: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefox is at 3%. Will need new gaming PC to run Pale Moon before I'll need it for next-gen triple-A game title. The website https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/animation causes 100% utilisation of my CPU on my old computer. Animations of any kind are now killers of old, underpowered computers. I have already deactivated various animations in different ways in my browsers. Now, I have also installed the extension Stylem and installed the following CSS style via copy and save from userstyles.org: https://userstyles.org/styles/180927/disable-css-animations-and-transitions-safely This actually stops any CSS animation on the site above and brings my processor back to normal.

The userstyles.org website and their "own" extension, Stylish, https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylish-custom-themes-for/fjnbnpbmkenffdnngjfgmeleoegfcffe ONLY support Google Chrome and MSEdge (not even other Chromium forks or Mozilla Firefox*) : This has escalated beyond a "joke" now ... (*): Stylish for Firefox available on AMO is from July 2018, I bet it doesn't work with the "new" userstyles.org site .
