DeviantArt - New UA overrides needed

[Tomaso]

Pale Moon v28.6.0 now gets served a new interface @ https://www.deviantart.com/, and it performs terriby!
By tweaking the existing UA overrides (for deviantart.com and deviantart.net), the old interface gets restored.
This is what I used:

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0

It stil looks the same as in previous versions to me.
Can you provide a screenshot of the supposedly old interface?

They've been A/B testing it for a while, and I've gotten it on occasion. The new UI is much darker, more bloated, less performant, and some functions appear broken.

[Tomaso]

Looks like you're right, Isengrim.
I get the old interface again now, without having to modify the UA overrides.

Wonder what the hell webmasters are thinking these days?
Has anyone EVER seen an example of a UA change actually being an improvement?
Why do they always have to turn things into bloated crap!?

Because it's The Future!

I'm not seeing it and I'm not using any overrides. All looks normal to me.

I'm getting something weird on there with eMatrix. If I have all scripts disabled and all CSS and images enabled except wixmp.com images I get a green page, but if I enable wixmp.com images only (no CSS) it switches to a black background with a different layout. I wonder how is that possible without CSS?

[Tomaso]

I'm getting the nasty new interface again now, and the UA overrides which I posted before does nothing to prevent it!
The fact that I got the old interface back, after adding those overrides earlier, must indeed have been by pure coincidence.

EDIT:
In their new UI, all elements seems to use dynamic IDs too, making annoyances very difficult (if not impossible) to block!

If you're using Stylem or a similar addon you can use nth-child notation, for example:

Code: Select all

#post_content170084 > div:nth-child(4) { display: none }

Edit:
You can get it from the Inspect Element box by right clicking the element and selecting Copy > CSS Selector.
