Extension summary

UPDATE (May 22, 2020): added support for reverting fonts!

On August 27, 2020, StackOverflow websites like ServerFault, AskUbuntu, SuperUser, etc. made new formatting changes that were unnecessary imho. Use this extension if you want back the old compact line height, paragraph spacing, old fonts (Arial, Consolas) and other formattings (colors, borders, padding, etc.), on StackExchange websites.

INSTRUCTIONS: click on extension icon (top-right) to see Options.

Customizable:

  • Only revert line-height
  • Choose custom line-height value
  • Revert to old paragraph spacing
  • Enable additional reversions (background-colors, border-radius, padding, etc.)
  • Revert Fonts (back to Arial and Consolas)
  • Change blockquote styling (darker text, yellow background)
  • Disable extension with one click
