A: Is the mouse cursor in the Power User logo an accessibility problem? Not really an accessibility issue, but this mouse pointer confused me to no end. I'm using macOS and this pointer looks exactly like my actual mouse pointer. I can't count how often I was looking for my mouse on the screen and wondering why it wouldn't move... My current workaround is to block t... (more) |

This mouse pointer confused me to no end. I can't count how often I was looking for my mouse on the screen and wondering why it wouldn't move - solved the problem by blocking the image with my adblocker :) (more) |

@#8049 Nice idea!

A: Setting a cookie with a userscript @Canina had the brilliant idea to make my userscript reload the page in case the cookie did not exist previously. Using this idea, my userscript now works like this: Greasemonkey version ``` // ==UserScript== // @name test // @match ://example.com/ // @run-at documen... (more) |
