I've tried using LibreWolf on MacOS but there's a few annoying bugs.

HN has a really small text size for me and I usually read HN at 120-133% text size. LibreWolf does not remember this setting on per-site basis and even opening HN-to-HN link in a new tab doesn't preserve text size and I need to increase text size constantly.

In addition, posting images to Bluesky doesn't work. Every attempt results in an image of proper size but consisting of only vertical lines. For this, I need to fall back to Firefox or use Safari.

Even if the first of above problems is a "feature", the latter is definitely a bug. I haven't filled a report yet. But for now, I'm planning to test Zen.



Check `browser.zoom.siteSpecific` in `about:config`, in Firefox it defaults to true.


Firefox, LibreWolf and Zen, all have this value set to true by default. This behavior is only present in LibreWolf.


You can use the Stylus extension to get HN to look any way you want. There are some good community made styles for HN as well.


I appreciate your suggestion. But I hope not to have to exercise it. My go-to setup is: uBlock Origin, NoScript, Dark Reader.


Take me back to when user stylesheets were a normal browser feature and not a special extension
