Not a Chrome user (poor font rendering on my m/c).

If you released it as a usertyle in userstyles.org, that would have been truly browser agnostic. The Stylish extension makes it possible to then use it on pretty much all browsers:

I use Georgify with Solarised (light) and comfy Helvetica together in all my browsers (Seamonkey/Firefox, Opera, Maxthon) for reading HN.

In my view, this is a much more memory friendly approach for Chrome users also, since there is no need for yet-another extension specific to one site. All they would need is the Stylish extension (which can be used to customise Google, Wikipedia, and a lot other sites).

Just my two coins.




Yeah valid criticism. The biggest issue is that the HTML for HN is almost devoid of any semantic markup. This means Iā€™m reliant on a little bit of JS to differentiate between different pages in order to achieve the desired look.


Hmmm, I see.

In this case, we simply move from userstyles.org to userscripts.org ;-) There is grease monkey, tamper monkey & violent monkey which essentially allows various customisable JS codes tailored to various different sites. Like userstyles/Stylish, userscripts/greasemonkey is supported by every browser out there in some form or another.

Still, I forgot to mention earlier. Your screenshot looked good. :-)
