1994: trust the browser for presentation

1997: geez the browser makes some dull or terrible decisions about presentation and we want to control our site's presentation

2005: OK but semantic web and CSS tho'

2013: JavaScript all the things!

2015: whoever thought the semantic web was a decent idea, the browser is THE VM, CSS is teh sux0rs, when can I just treat it like a compile target like every other kind of development

2018: oh hai what if we invented some way to let users control how they see the content of a website

Also GreaseMonkey for user customized javascript

There's the Stylish extension since 2005

Now with added spyware. :(

This is one of the reasons that I'm a bit wary of using extensions for handling these kinds of needs. It might be different if there were a permissions model that didn't seem to require "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit" for most useful extensions.

Better user stylesheet support in the browser seems safer.

Stylus seems OK.

Ouch!! Didn't know that!!! I used Stylish years ago, good thing I'm not using it now!!!
