I really like the search results in monospace. I wish you could configure the font!

The implementation is literally just one style on the page:

* { font-family: monospace !important }

You can use e.g. Tampermonkey to inject this style on https://www.google.com/search*:

For just injecting CSS I prefer the Stylus addon.

I use uBlock origin for that.

Thanks. I would've never thought about it. For a few fixes I need, installing a new extension would be an overkill.

It can also remove tracking parameters from URLs (no clearurls addon needed) and remove spam from Google and duckduxkgo results via https://github.com/quenhus/uBlock-Origin-dev-filter (no ublocklist needed)

How do you use uBlock to inject CSS?

`example.com##h1:style(background-color: blue !important)`

See https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax#... for the syntax.

Doesn’t work on mobile (safari) though :(

I do wish monospace designs were at least a _little_ trendier. My blog uses one, but honestly I feel like I should change it up since I'm looking for roles right now and I worry it doesn't _delight_ like modern designs right now.

It's nice. Extremely fast too.

Personally I had to turn my brightness up to read it easily, so possibly a little more contrast between text and background but that's just me.

Thank you! It’s the Solarized color scheme which is definitely a bit low-contrast. I probably don’t notice it only because I’ve been using the color scheme across apps for so long.

I mean, I’m sure there’s plenty of extensions that let you customise the CSS per site. Treat yourself!
