if it helps, I've been able to differentiate both type of links using plain Firefox

The trick is to always override the color options in Firefox settings

p/s: I'm starting to follow people in HN through this way too, and keeping up with my weekly reading materials (xkcd, manga, etc)

But I took it one step above by disabling colors altogether & sees the web as (mostly) wall of light text on dark background




Some sites are unusable what that setting. For example, it makes the voting arrows on HN invisible. And it makes the chess boards on lichess.org invisible.

Is there a way to opt in to the site's color choices per domain?


Not very convenient but using Stylish it comes down to adding entries into a text file: https://github.com/stylish-userstyles/stylish/wiki/Applying-...


yeah, some sites will 'break', but not a problem to me so far...

I suspect it can be done via Firefox's userchrome.css file, but I never dabble in it


It's userContent.css ; userChrome.css is used to style the browser itself (the "chrome" of the browser, that is to say what is around the content: location bar, menus, etc. Yes the collision with this other Google browser is confusing these days, but Firefox/IE usage of the term predates Google Chrome, it's actually Google Chrome that hogged the term, not the other way).

But be careful, Electrolysis (multi-process firefox) broke userContent.css, if you are running it you'll have to either disable Electrolysis, or use Stylish. Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1046166

I like userContent.css, it's a single css file, easy to understand/sync. Hope a fix will arrive someday.
