NoSquint is invaluable & needs our support #166

I support EFF all the time (which the author of NoSquint wants users to do instead of donating to him) and would love to somehow support the NoSquint add-on directly. I don't think there's another Firefox add-on that quite does everything NoSquint does.

I realize the best way to throw ideas into the ring is to make them happen yourself, but I don't code. What I think NoSquint could most use, among the other things already planned for it, is the ability to make SAVED SETS.

I hate bright white backgrounds on web pages, so I do the same thing with NoSquint several times a day: I (almost always) make the same series of about ten or twelve mouse-clicks, in order to: (a) put the background color at a mid- or darkish-gray to be easy-on-the-eyes; (b) make the font black; (c) enlarge the font; (d) "Always underline links"; and sometimes (e) "Disable background images".

Until this can be done natively in NoSquint, with a single on-off toggle-click of a saved set I've created that has all these features pre-defined, I'll have to create a macro that does it. Meanwhile I can hope the author somehow is able to make time to finalize his 3.0 code base, or that some valiant individual or group is able to fork NoSquint and enable it to really fulfill its potential. Best of luck to everyone involved.

I'm wondering if there might be a "theme" (I've never used them) to do what you want. Probably one aimed at making text more readable. I would guess that changing themes would be easier than the clutching interface that NoSquint has left us with. On Mar 8, 2015 1:51 AM, "watchpocket" notifications@github.com wrote:

So you are giving no support at all you are just asking the author or someone to add that feature that you want

I give the only support I can, and which the author has requested, which is to support EFF. If and when the author indicates a way to support NoSquint directly, I'll do that. Do you use NoSquint? If so, have you supported EFF lately?
