IE's antialiasing method is identical to system antialiasing, if you don't mind how it looks in IE I can't fathom why you have ClearType turned off. Chrome's method is also very close to standard ClearType.

Chrome's method is also very close to standard ClearType. No it isn't at least not on Windows 8. On 8 and beyond IE uses a greyscale only smoother not proper ClearType. This makes IE eye-bleeding bad on lowish DPI monitors - completely unusable for anything with small text.

IE's anti-aliasing is hilariously awful, and the font they use for the default msn homepage is a thin sans serif that looks like a hot blurry mess.

On that topic does anyone know of an extension or something that just lets the user replace a font for all pages you open with Firefox? Like, always replace "Proxima Nova" with "Verdana" on every page you visit from now until the end of time. I despise all font smoothing and the growth in popularity of fonts that don't render properly without it has just made me turn off websites' ability to use custom fonts. But that breaks formatting on many sites. I'd love to be able to just highlight a block of text and tell Firefox to always replace the font the selected text is using with a different one. I've tried a couple plugins that said they could do this but they either didn't work at all or didn't remember the changes so you had to replace the font every time you load a page.

Alereon posted:To be fair, the point of subpixel antialiasing is that you get higher horizontal resolution, so that's meaningless if the tablet is rotated. The hilarious part is that this is apparently the behavior on desktops as well.

That isn't quite true either (at least on my laptop) - IE content = greyscale - IE toolbars/menus etc = subpixel smoothed - All of metro = greyscale - All of the desktop (Windows explorer etc) = subpixel - Some parts of Office 2013 are greyscale, others old style subpixel ClearType The overall effect is it looks like an inconsistent, broken, unfinished mess :/

On the other hand if you prefer to disable font smoothing Windows 8 is a nice improvement. In Windows 7 you could turn off font smoothing everywhere possible in the OS and still have smoothed fonts all over the place, unless you also turned on Windows Classic Mode(which breaks V-Sync on non-exclusive mode directX programs) or installed a series of hacks to something like 3 different windows .dlls and a bunch of registry tweaks. On Windows 8 turning off "Smooth the edges of screen fonts" and Cleartype actually gets rid of font smoothing almost everywhere other then the Metro stuff.

I can't seem to remove the UI element \"menubar-items\" (the File, Edit, View, etc. menu buttons) - I can manually remove it from prefs.js, but Firefox adds it back in on launch. I have the orange Firefox button that includes all the menus, so I don't need them duplicated and taking up space. I've tried Googling but it's turning up nothing but garbage results. I have Classic Theme Restorer installed but after fiddling with it, nothing helps. Disabling CTR didn't seem to do anything useful. As far as I can tell, the only other add-on I have that messes with the UI is Status-4-Evar.

Right click on the tab bar and click "menu bar" to disable it.

Read posted:Right click on the tab bar and click "menu bar" to disable it. That eliminates the entire bar, which has all my navigation buttons and such. Kinda forced into keeping it around because I'm using the 'no title bar' setting which merges the menu bar into the title bar. I guess the answer is to find another add-on that lets me use a different bar in the title bar instead?

This is getting really addicting, wish I could do something to the image buttons but it looks like few have unique classes. EDIT: I have the opacity down on avatars for work, but I can hover them to see 100%.

Does anyone know a good extension for replacing individual images on a site? There are a number of users here with horrible flashing avatars and I'd love to set them to a static version without losing the ability to quickly identify that user.

I use Toggle animated GIFs and couldn't imagine Firefox without it. Having a pause and rewind button on all gifs (on mouseover) is incredible. It'd just be nice to pause particular gifs permanently. I think I'll follow Subjunctive's advice and see if I can't Frankenstein together a Stylish script.

Does this stop them from loading/downloading? I'd love something like this if I could load them on demand with a simple click like how most embedded videos don't start until you press play. Seriously some forums people just need to post an endless amount of huge fuckoff sized gifs for no reason and pages end up taking so long to load, stop that.

Click-to-play needs server support to work well, because the browser doesn't know it's a big animated thing until it has loaded at least some of it.

I think this extension might be what you want: gif Block "There is a lot of web page that has some Gif files. These file consume users bandwidth. With this add-on users can disable Gif files and avoid them from being appear. however users can change the setting and view the Gif files again." But I'm not sure how well it actually works.

Still working on it, has some rough edges and is a disaster outside of threads. CSS is also a nightmare to look at.
