- The person who wrote this post is incredibly creative. Every one of these is more interesting than 10 google tools. I guess thus is the rule of industrial tools, that is, to minimize surprise.
- Patrick is incredibly creative with CSS. Check out his lab on his website which is full of more wild stuff: https://patrickbrosset.com/lab/
- Customisable selects are not supported in Firefox.
- I admit this is neat tech but I am not looking forward to the monstrosities that are going to result. I'm hoping there will be (already is?) something that could translate anything into a stripped down minimal-effect version. Like reader mode but universal
- That already exists because it's just a styled dropdown menu. If you remove the CSS, it reverts back to an unstyled dropdown menu like what is seen at the beginning of the article: https://i0.wp.com/css-tricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/...
- Yeah, and maybe I'm overcomplicating this in my head, but it's based on my difficult experience trying to reduce distracting/annoying styling ad-hoc. My ideal is something that's able to "universally" produce a barebones version of a page that matches its original layout as best it can, and otherwise leaves it semi functional/readable. Maybe I just haven't spent enough time sitting and thinking about how to do this generically and it's easier than I think.
- Would changing your usercontent.css or uBlock Origin filter to set all select appearance attributes to auto help? There are some challenges, like the custom style could hide elements, but I think that should give fall-back equivilent styling.
- This is still better than currebt monstrosities because the underlying select should still be an actual select (including keyboard navigation etc.)
- Incredibly cool - and since it’s a native element, it cleanly falls back to just a normal select on e.g. iOS.
