Are there plans about supporting alternative page styles?

I mean, those defined by <link rel="alternate stylesheet" />.

I'd sort of idly considered it. How is the existence of these alternatives presented in other browsers? How common are alternative stylesheets on the contemporary web?

This is feature, supported by all major browsers. I don't know about the whole www, but I have a site, that uses such approach:

http://fresh.flatassembler.net

The supplementary style (named Revolution) was made because of user request - he/she wanted to use more screen area and without hidden menus.

How do other browsers inform the user that alternative stylesheets are available?

Only now do I find that it's possible to get the menu bar back. I believe mine disappeared when firefox decided to move everything into that stupid three-horizontal-bars icon because they're trend-followers, and anyway I thought that was just the new terrible way of things to not have access to anything anymore.

hehehe, most people don't know about the firefox menu bar, but is easy to get to it, just press "alt" for a temporary access or right click on the existent bar and select that you want to see the menu permanently

Not just trend followers, netbooks have a lot less screen size than desktops and the existence of the status bar and menu bar removes precious screen size, so that decision was to increase usable space. Of course i have the opinion that FF should check the screen size and change the default based on that... but i understand that would break consistency. Back to the on-topic: i would also agree that alternative styles support would be good thing. right now i have to switch off embebed or external CSS to be able to read some sites, a way to use other styles or even force a "personal" style would help in many sites. Best regards, higuita -- Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country. -- Hermann Goering, Nazi and war criminal, 1883-1946

In dillo, it should be rather simple to integrate the styles into the tools menu. Perhaps some configuration per site would be nice, too.

Do you suppose it would be more suitable to keep the user's setting for a page in nav or in cache? Objectively, cache seems right, but in some way feels like an unusual intrusion.

It should resemble the current behaviour for "Use remote CSS" etc. Which I find rather confusing, admittedly: Switching it in one browser window switches the check boxes in all windows, but re-renders the page only in one window. And, what I meant previously: a simple text file in which pages and sites can be configured. Sebastian
