This userstyle affects the font type, not the font boldness. As per the post you linked, Wanikani changed the boldness of their fonts, not their type. If you want to change the boldness of your items, you need a different userstyle for that. This one only affects font types. There is nothing for me to update here, this userstyle works as intended.
But just for looking if I could, I added a line of code to restore the old 400 font weight (the one mentioned in your link) but I could not see any difference what so ever.
So, to test this, could you open your stylus app, click the edit button on the style and paste this code over the old one and tell me if that does anything for you?
@-moz-document url-prefix("https://www.wanikani.com/") {
:lang(ja),
[lang|=ja] {
font-family: "Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro", Meiryo, "Source Han Sans Japanese", NotoSansCJK, TakaoPGothic, "Yu Gothic", "ヒラギノ角ゴ Pro W3", メイリオ, Osaka, "MS PGothic", "ＭＳ Ｐゴシック", "Noto Sans JP", "PingFang SC", "Noto Sans SC", sans-serif !important;
font-weight: 400;
}
}
Just tried with the font weight, I’m not seeing any difference.
I’ve tried editing the element directly as well but changing the font weight seems to have no impact in the 1-549 range, only when hitting 550 does it change (and drastically change) to be visibly different.
That was my observation as well. Unless I know what exactly they changed I don’t think I could do anything about it, because I have no idea how it looked beforehand (I use a custom style, with custom font sizes for myself).
Huh, okay. That is weird, since it doesn’t do anything for me, or that other dude. But if it helps I might as well add it to the code itself and update it.
Picture on right is from Jisho and shows how it should look
Not this is only on Wanikani, every other website displays japanese text on brave completely fine. So its a style choice by wanikani and I’m not sure how to fix it
I have no idea, I don’t use Brave so I am not familiar with any intricacies of that browser. But I frankly don’t see much difference between your two pictures. Apart from the first one being bolder, so maybe you were zoomed in a bit on Chrome and forgot to zoom in on Brave? I don’t know. You could always switch to Firefox though You could try this, go into Stylus, open the file and add !important behind the 400 in font weight. But before the semicolon. Try if that does anything, maybe the boldness isn’t applied properly. If it does, tell me and I add it to the code properly.
Found the solution, it was turning off this setting. Brave is super strict on privacy and I found out it blocks the use of fonts for the most part as they track your browsing history.
I do use firefox sometimes but it also is doing the V3 which will kill so many older extensions
That’s weird, because Firefox also blocks fingerprinting, at least in the stricter security settings, which I use, but I don’t have this issue. But at least it works for you now, which is good.
As far as I know, Firfox is not killing V2, but keeps it alongside V3. Just 5 months ago they once again reiterated their support for V2. Was there a new announcment recently, or something? Librewolf is also an option, a fork of Firefox with even more privacy and security, like Brave for Chrome. it also supports V2.
My firefox only maybe 2 months back disabled probably 15/16 various old extensions I had because they didn’t conform to some policy. I assumed it had to do with V2, for that instance I went ahead and installed an old version + various mucking around to make sure it’d never check for updates or perform date checks just to keep all those plugins going.
I’ve been using brave together with chrome for years now, but with chrome killing V2 I’m sticking with Brave permanently as they have a dedicated section just for V2 extensions
