"userChrome.css" is a custom CSS file that can be used to specify CSS style rules for Floorp's interface (NOT internal site) using "chrome" privileges.
For instance, if you want to hide the tab bar, you can use the following CSS rule:

**************************************
#TabsToolbar {                       *
    display: none !important;        *
}                                    *

It has been interesting to witness the rise of a kind of perma-ignorant peanut gallery both on Twitter and Hacker News - a new class of user who seems to only weakly (meaningfully) interact with the legacy users who desired to not look like fools all the time. They do not appear to read or look things up when confused, exuding a desire for spoonfeeding: "but you're wrong because you haven't explained this to me". Prior to 2023 there would of course be a lot of ignorant posting, but it was less likely to go unchecked. Some hypotheses as to why this might be happening:

• a more universal demand for profilicity, in text form, even from people who are not any good at it
• a decreased demand for profilicity from the old posters who have mostly exhausted its possibilities
• increased information hoarding in the post-ZIRP economy; reduced desire to correct the ignorance of apparent outsiders
• reduced resources to moderate posts in the post-ZIRP e

Someone made the product worse, but not so much that it has become a priority for me to do something about it.

The corollary is that if you make something a little worse, people won't necessarily be moved to expend their time and social capital to tell you about it. You largely have to critique your own work and notice your own little regressions.
