Style Toggle

[joe04]

Style Toggle is a simple extension that adds an alt+z hotkey for toggling all page styles on/off. This is the equivalent of the View->Page Style menu behavior.

The purpose of disabling styles is readability, because it causes the browser to render the page with my default fonts and colors. Thus it's a reliable, consistent improvement for any styled HTML page. This includes offline content, such as using it with EPUBreader to get my default fonts for e-books.

I never knew about "View"->"Page Style" functionality. Today, I learned something new!

Important Update:

If you want this functionality, use the Read Easily extension instead of mine.

While my rev 1.0 works as advertised, it doesn't keep track of tab state the way Read Easily does. Thus if you have multiple tabs open and are disabling styles in more than one, my oversimplistic 1.0 won't know which is which. So you sometimes end up having to double press the hotkey to get the desired result. (When I briefly tested a multiple tab scenario yesterday before publishing I didn't come across a double press condition, but I did today.)

I will fix this, if only for the learning exercise. (This is not a competition to replace Read Easily, which is an extension I have much appreciation for, given the many years I used it. Plus if you want the GUI buttons or other features it has, I won't be adding those. Style Toggle is hotkey only.)

FIXED IT

the new Style Toggle rev 1.1 works properly:

I learned 2 important lessons today:
1) Thoroughly learn the code you fork
2) gBrowser knows best

Does anybody know where this addon can be installed from? The PM & github pages are both no longer. Thanks

You could use the Block Content add-on to achieve the same effect. The original add-on mentioned in this thread was removed by its author and is no longer available.

Thanks, but that addon is a bit too technical for me. The other was perfect, so maybe someone has it archived somewhere?

Yep, I relegated Style Toggle to the digital void.

But since you appreciate it, here's an xpi. All you have to do is download it then drag it into the Pale Moon window and the install dialog will appear.

Note that I changed the hotkey to F9.

(I've transitioned to Firefox 60, but still have Pale Moon 27 installed for Epubs and .maff files, both of which I use Style Toggle for. I changed the hotkey to be the same F9 as Reader View.)

And if any extension dev wants to fork this and publish it as your own, go for it. You have my blessing.

(It only works in single process mode, as I found out when testing it on Waterfox a while back.)

Such a practical and useful extension. Thanks.
