alt Hacker NewsI 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

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.)
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/...
