The author has marked this style as obsolete.

Doesn't work anymore; unfortunately, I don't have the time or inclination to keep up with the changes made by the LH designers.

Install

The recommended way to install user styles is to use Firefox with Stylish.

If you already have Firefox with Stylish, make sure this site is allowed to run JavaScript.

2007-07-15 : updated and rewritten to account for Lifehacker site changes.

Much the same as before - a more basic, readable version of the Lifehacker site. Uses lots of relative units, so it should make the site more accessible (for example, you don't have to scroll across the page on an 800X600 screen).

Blocks a lot of unnecessary images, so load times are also improved.

Doesn't play well with the screenshot tour posts; they are still navigable, but if you need this Lifehacker feature, you may not like this style.

If you would like a less severe style, try Better Lifehacker. It doesn't 'break' the site.

@Urban Legend - Thanks for the feedback. The number of comments and the last commenter does appear on the page, and some of us don't have such great eyesight!

The front page link popups do appear some distance below the actual links - I am working on a way round this, but it's quite complicated. TBH, I've never looked at a screenshot tour, but I see that some text overlaps and that it is also unstyled. More work, I guess.

Any suggestions? Email xexagon @ yahoo . co . uk
